Primitive: General Clock Buffer
- PRIMITIVE_GROUP: CLOCK
- PRIMITIVE_SUBGROUP: BUFFER
Introduction
This design element is a high-fanout buffer that connects signals to the global routing resources for low-skew distribution of the signal. BUFGs are typically used on clock nets as well other high-fanout nets like sets, resets, and clock enables.
