We present a method for incorporating crosstalk reduction criteria into global routing under an innovative power supply architecture, while considering the constraints imposed by ...
Most existing buffering algorithms neglect the impact of inductance on circuit performance, which causes large error in circuit analysis and optimization. Even for the approaches...
Advanced process technologies call for a proactive consideration of process variations in design to ensure high parametric timing yield. Despite of its popular use in almost any h...
