摘要： An electrical wiring structure and method of designing thereof. The method identifies at least one wire pair having a first wire and a second wire. The second wire is already tri-stated or can be tri-stated. The wire pair may have a same-direction switching probability per clock cycle that is no less than a predetermined or user-selected minimum same-direction switching probability. Alternatively, the wire pair may have an opposite-direction switching probability per clock cycle that is no less than a predetermined or user-selected minimum opposite-direction switching probability. The first wire and the second wire satisfy at least one mathematical relationship involving: a spacing between the first wire and the second wire; and a common run length of the first wire and the second wire.

摘要： Both logical and physical construction of voltage islands is disclosed. A semiconductor chip design is partitioned into “bins”, which are areas of the design. In this way, a semiconductor chip design may be “sliced” into various areas and the areas may then be assigned to various voltage levels. Each bin may be thought of as a voltage island. Circuits in the design can be added to or removed from the various bins, thereby increasing or decreasing the speed and power of the circuits: the speed and power increase if a circuit is placed into a bin assigned a higher voltage, and the speed and power decrease if a circuit is placed into a bin having a lower voltage. The size and location of the bins may also be changed. By iterating these steps, the optimum power consumption may be met while still meeting speed constraints and other criteria. The present invention is applicable to any placement environment, such as an annealing placement tool, that proceeds through successive refinement of the locations of the circuits on the design and in which the placement process may be interrupted to make changes in placement of the logic.

摘要： In integrated circuit (IC) designs, a component of power consumed may be represented as Power=½ FCV2, where C is the load capacitance being driven by a source cell, F is the switching frequency of the source cell, and V is the total output voltage swing. However, not every signal value generated by a source cell is required to propagate to all the sink cells connected to the source for every clock cycle of a chip. Accordingly, an isolate cell is inserted in a net (wire) connecting a source cell to at least one sink cell, to de-couple the at least one sink cell and a portion of the net from the source cell when a signal output by the source need not propagate. Due to the de-coupling, the load capacitance associated with the at least one sink and net portion is not experienced by the source cell for such signals. Accordingly, overall IC power consumption is reduced.

摘要： The present embodiments relate to an illuminated wreath card holder comprising a wreath form, decorative material configured to create a wreath on the form, and a plurality of ornamental clamp assemblies that are attached to the wreath form and configured to releasably secure, display, and illuminate greeting cards on the wreath. Each ornamental clamp assembly comprises at least one ornamental cover, at least one clip, and at least one light that is positioned between the ornamental cover and the clip. When viewed from the front, the light is hidden behind the ornamental cover and casts a glow up onto the greeting card. The ornamental cover may be star-shaped and have a return flange at its back to which the light and clip are attached. The illuminated wreath card holder may have a power source and be packed in kit form.
