    • A method for designing a semiconductor integrated circuit is provided that is capable of a timing simulation that is approximate to an actual operation by reducing the effect of IR drop on the timing without reducing an effective area necessary for arrangement of elements or the number of pads that can be used other than power supply pads and without increasing the processing time. In a FF driving ability change procedure, a flip-flop having a delay time larger than a transition time from a state in which an IR drop occurs in a power supply voltage to a state of an ideal power supply voltage is substituted for an arbitrary flip-flop. Thus, a delay library considering IR drop may be produced previously only for the flop-flop, thus enabling a production time of the library to be reduced and improving the calculation accuracy of the delay time in the delay calculation procedure. Furthermore, the substitution of a flip-flop having a low driving ability enables the area to be reduced.
    • 提供了一种用于设计半导体集成电路的方法,其能够通过在不减少元件排列所需的有效面积的情况下减少IR降低对定时的影响而实现近似于实际操作的定时仿真或者焊盘的数量 可以使用电源垫以外的处理时间。 在FF驱动能力改变过程中,具有大于从电源电压中的IR降低到理想电源电压的状态的转变时间的延迟时间的触发器被替换为任意翻转 -flop。 因此,考虑到IR降低的延迟库可以仅在触发器中产生,从而能够减少库的生产时间并提高延迟计算过程中的延迟时间的计算精度。 此外,替代具有低驾驶能力的触发器使得能够减小面积。

    • The present invention makes it possible to obtain an aging deterioration margin amount including an allowance for aging deterioration in a simplified manner. Moreover, in order to allow an appropriate inspection taking aging deterioration into account, a delay deterioration rate predicting part 101 outputs signal path delay information before deterioration 302 and signal path delay deterioration rate information 303 for each signal path, based on LSI design information 301. A delay vs. delay deterioration rate analyzing part 102 outputs delay vs. delay deterioration rate relationship information 304 showing the correlation between the delay and the delay deterioration rate based on the information. A delay deterioration rate extracting part 103 extracts a delay deterioration rate of a predetermined signal path and outputs it as delay deterioration margin 305. A delay deterioration margin amount calculating part 104 calculates a delay deterioration margin amount by using the delay deterioration margin 305 as a derating factor G. Furthermore, a inspection operation frequency calculating part 105 calculates an operation frequency for inspection using the delay deterioration margin 305 as a derating factor G.

    • 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.
