摘要： An automated logic circuit design system uses a common database to store design data at different states of the design process, including data-flow graphs, netlists and layout descriptions. In this way, the need to translate circuit descriptions between tools is eliminated, thus leading to increased speed, flexibility and integration. The common database includes entities, models, cells, pins, busses and nets. The data-flow graphs are stored as graphs, the nodes in a graph as cells, and the edges as busses. Physical design data is available by storing the cells in a model in a KD tree. This allows queries on cells in the netlist located in the layout within arbitrary areas.

摘要： A strategy for optimal buffering in the case of an infinitely long wire buffered with an arbitrary number of equally spaced single-size buffers is presented. A simple but efficient technique is proposed using this to choose a buffer size and determine a good inter-buffering distance up front, thus enabling fast, efficient buffer insertion. The analysis also allows representing delays of long wires as a simple function of the length and buffer and wire widths. Based on this, a novel constant wire delay approach is proposed where the proposed wire delay model is used for fairly accurate prediction of wire delays early in the design process and these predictions are later met via buffer insertion and wire sizing.

摘要： Methods and apparatuses for automated design of parallel drive standard cells are disclosed. The capacitive load to be driven by a particular output of a standard cell is determined. The driving capacity of the output is also determined. Based on the capacitive load to be driven and the driving capacity, a number of standard cells to be used is determined. The multiple standard cells are coupled in parallel having the respective outputs coupled to the capacitive load to be driven. In one embodiment, the standard cells coupled is parallel are placed such that the connection between the respective outputs and the load are substantially equal.

摘要： Incremental timing analyzer for selectively performing timing analysis on a revised electronic circuit design resulting from one or more modifications to an initial electronic circuit design having input nodes, output nodes, and active elements electrically connected therebetween in a set of signal paths interconnected by a plurality of nodes. Each signal path has a timing delay associated therewith. Data is recorded representative of the modification's affect on relative timing values for a set of signals propagated through the circuit design. The recorded data includes a leftmost frontier of change in relative timing values and a rightmost frontier of change in relative timing values. Upon presentation of a specific timing analysis request, incremental timing analysis on the selected portion of the modified electronic circuit design is conducted employing the recorded frontiers of change to limit the timing value analysis. The concepts presented may be used for incremental recalculation of any signal value propagated forward or backward through a logic network.
