Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS) is a step in digital integrated circuit design where a balanced network of buffers and wires is built to distribute a clock signal to all sequential elements (like flip-flops) on a chip with minimal skew and latency. It's performed by chip design engineers using electronic design automation (EDA) tools during the physical design/backend stage of the ASIC or SoC design flow. Proper CTS is critical for ensuring reliable timing and synchronization across a chip's circuitry.
