    • A method of accurately estimating a time delay caused by a target cell where a target supply voltage is applied to the cell. Time delays, caused by a representative cell, are represented as a function of supply voltages applied to the cell, thereby deriving an approximation function k1. An interpolation function k2 is derived from the approximation function k1 by reference to two points P1 and P2. P1 indicates a time delay T1 caused by the target cell where a supply voltage V1 is applied thereto, while P2 indicates a time delay T2 caused by the target cell where a different supply voltage V2 is applied thereto. Thus, the interpolation function k2 represents the time delays caused by the target cell as a function of supply voltages. And by using this interpolation function k2, a time delay caused by the target cell at the target supply voltage can be estimated accurately.
    • 一种精确地估计由目标电池施加到电池的目标电池引起的时间延迟的方法。 由代表性单元导致的时间延迟被表示为施加到单元的电源电压的函数,从而导出近似函数k1。 通过参照两点P1和P2从近似函数k1导出插值函数k2。 P1表示由施加电源电压V1的目标单元引起的时间延迟T1,而P2表示由施加不同电源电压V2的目标单元引起的时间延迟T2。 因此,内插函数k2表示作为电源电压的函数的由目标单元引起的时间延迟。 并且通过使用该内插函数k2,可以准确地估计目标电池在目标电源电压下引起的时间延迟。

    • A line capacitance is estimated in consideration of an influence of an adjacent line in rough routing, so that line paths can be determined so as to be free from a timing error. A routing graph is generated from a target integrated circuit, and line paths of cell-to-cell lines are initially determined on the basis of a passage cost set with regard to each of edges of the routing graph. With regard to each edge of the routing graph, the number of cell-to-cell lines passing through the edge is obtained as a line density, and a line capacitance of each line path in view of the influence of an adjacent line is estimated on the basis of the line density. It is verified whether or not there is a timing error with a delay time estimated, and when the integrated circuit does not satisfy a predetermined timing constraint, the line paths are re-determined with the passage cost of each edge allowed to be affected by the line capacitance. Alternatively, allocation to an interconnect layer is changed or a line-to-line distance is increased, so that the integrated circuit can satisfy the timing constraint.

    • A signal propagation time in an integrated circuit can be calculated based on a signal delay time in each of the cells composing the integrated circuit. The signal delay time in each cell can be calculated from the load capacity of a wire connected to an output terminal of the cell and from the slew of the waveform of an input signal. To calculate the slew of the waveform of the input signal, it is required to trace back the path of the input signal. When a feedback loop exists in the integrated circuit, the process of tracing back the path of the input signal may result in an endless loop. To prevent the occurrence of the endless loop, if an input terminal for a clock signal is present in a cell having an output terminal at which a signal waveform is not calculated, the signal waveform at the output terminal is calculated based on the waveform of the clock signal. In addition, a directory in which the correspondence of the output terminal and the input terminal is recorded is produced so that the signal waveform at the output terminal can be calculated based on the signal waveform at the corresponding input terminal recorded in the directory.
    • 可以基于构成集成电路的每个单元中的信号延迟时间来计算集成电路中的信号传播时间。 每个单元中的信号延迟时间可以从连接到单元的输出端的导线的负载容量和输入信号的波形的斜率来计算。 为了计算输入信号波形的斜率,需要追溯输入信号的路径。 当集成电路中存在反馈回路时,跟踪输入信号路径的过程可能导致无限循环。 为了防止无限循环的发生,如果在具有不计算信号波形的输出端子的单元中存在用于时钟信号的输入端子,则基于输出端子的波形来计算输出端子处的信号波形 时钟信号。 此外,产生记录输出端子和输入端子的对应关系的目录,使得可以基于记录在目录中的相应输入端子处的信号波形来计算输出端子处的信号波形。

    • Signal propagation delay in an inverter chain having a first inverter cell and a second inverter cell connected by an intercell wire, is evaluated. In order to guarantee that a first inverter cell delay is always evaluated to be positive (A) a logic threshold voltage for an increase in input pin voltage of the first inverter cell is set to a voltage below a switching threshold voltage of the first inverter cell, and (B) a logic threshold voltage for a decrease in input pin voltage of the first inverter cell is set to a voltage above the switching threshold voltage of the first inverter cell. Similarly, logic threshold voltages for an increase and a decrease in input pin voltage of the second inverter cell are determined. Additionally, in order to guarantee that an intercell wire delay is always evaluated to be positive, logic threshold voltages for an output pin voltage of the first inverter cell are made to agree with the logic threshold voltages for the input pin voltage of the second inverter cell.

    • After limited in band area with a vertical or horizontal low-pass filter in a sub-sampling circuit at the image-signal transmitting side, an image signal is sub-sampled as inter-frame offset in the form of a quincunx, and then transmitted to an image-signal receiving side through a transmission system. The sampling rate of the image signal thus received is converted by a sampling rate conversion portion. According to the operation of a changeover switch by the operator who watches a Braun tube for image reproduction, a selector selects the image signal interpolated with a vertical filter of a low-pass portion when the sub-sampling circuit uses a vertical filter, or the image signal interpolated with both vertical and horizontal low-pass filters when the sub-sampling circuit uses a two dimensional filter. Thus, there is supplied an image signal which has been interpolated with a low-pass filter of which transmissible band area is identical with or approximate to that of the low-pass filter in the sub-sampling circuit at the signal transmitting side, such that the image signal contains no aliasing interference of a spatial frequency band area. Thus, there can be reproduced a good picture in which a horizontal straight line is not displayed as a broken line.

    • A physical memory allocation system comprising an area estimation section, a program modification section, a program size read-in section, a memory size read-in section, a user control table, a size compare section, and an area allocation section. The area estimation section, after a program has been run for a predetermined period of time, measures a memory area size referred to by the program (i.e. the program size). The program modification section writes the program size to the program. The program size read-in section inputs the program size and the memory size read-in section inputs a user allocation size held at the user control table at program execution time. The size compare section makes a comparison in size between the user allocation size and the program size thereby outputting one of these two sizes that is found to be smaller than the other as an at-execution-time size. In the area allocation section, an amount of physical memory that a program can use is taken as an at-execution-time size. Taking such a physical memory size as a low limit, physical memory allocation is carried out effectively. This reduces the frequency of swapping and the loss of time.
