A heuristic algorithm for a given topology of a multiple-source and multiple-sink bus to reduce the signal delay time is proposed. The algorithm minimizes the delay by inserting bu...
: In ultra-deep submicron VLSI circuits, clock network is a major source of power consumption and power supply noise. Therefore, it is very important to minimize clock network size...
This paper studies buffer block planning for interconnect-driven floorplanning in deep submicron designs. We first introduce the concept of feasible region (FR) for buffer inserti...
— A methodology based on supply voltage optimization for lowering the power consumption and temperature fluctuations induced skew of clock distribution networks is proposed in th...
Traditional timing-driven placement considers only combinational delays and does not take into account the potential of subsequent sequential optimization steps. As a result, the ...
