Structured ASICs present an attractive alternative to reducing design costs and turnaround times in nanometer designs. As with conventional ASICs, such designs require global wire...
The interconnection delay of pre-fabricated design style dominates circuit delay due to the heavily downstream capacitance. Buffer insertion is a widely used technique to split o...
Structured ASICs have recently emerged as an exciting alternative to ASIC or FPGA design style as they provide a new trade-off between the high performance of ASIC design and low ...
The implementation of interconnect is becoming a significant challenge in modern IC design. Both synchronous and asynchronous strategies have been suggested to manage this problem...
