    Clock buffers are specialized buffers used to distribute clock signals in digital circuits. They are designed to minimize skew and jitter to ensure clock signals are delivered synchronously. Normal buffers used in data paths have asymmetric PMOS and NMOS resistances that cause uneven rise and fall times of output signals. In contrast, clock buffers are engineered to have equal PMOS and NMOS resistances through different sizing and doping levels. This produces symmetrical rise and fall times that maintain the integrity of distributed clock signals.

    Clock Buffer and normal buffer Differences.

    A clock buffer is a special type of buffer that is used to isolate and distribute clock signals in digital
    circuits. Clock signals are used to synchronize the operations of different parts of a digital circuit, and
    they need to be delivered with very low skew and jitter to ensure proper operation. Clock buffers are
    designed to minimize skew and jitter and to maintain the integrity of the clock signal as it is distributed
    to different parts of the circuit.
    From Device physics point of view, A typical normal buffer used in data path have below properties;
    R(on) PMOS > R(on) NMOS by 2.5 times . (R stands for Resistance)
    So, they cannot maintain similar pulse width as the clock, hence while switching  ,the transition time
    from Low to High and High to Low differ significantly. (i.e rise and fall differs)
    Thus the clock buffer need to have different size and different doping levels than Regular Buffer , So
    that ON resistance of PMOS and NMOS is Equal .
    i.e R(on) PMOS = R(on) NMOS . 
    If we mainatin the same resistance , The output capacitance will be taking same time for charging and
    discharging which leads us to equal Rise and fall time .
