At nanometer technologies, variability is rapidly becoming one of the leading causes for chip failures and delayed schedules. However, there is significant confusion about the term “variability” in ...
Why isolated flows negatively impact design schedule and PPA. Benefits of unified DFT, synthesis, and physical design flows. Physical implementation optimization methods for test compression and scan ...
. Tadahiko Yamamoto is Chief Specialist, Design Methodology Development Group, at Toshiba Corp. . Norikazu Ooishi is Specialist, Design Methodology Group, at Toshiba Corp. Physical designers moving to ...
Deep sub-micron effects complicate design closure for very large designs. Top-down hierarchical design methodology combined with physical prototyping increases design productivity and restores ...
Detailed and precise hierarchical design planning is essential to achieving closure on large designs. In this article we describe a new hierarchical design flow and its usage on a 3 million-gate chip.
The number power domains is rising as chip architects build finer-grained control into chips and systems, adding significantly to the complexity of the overall design effort. Different power domains ...
Energy is a precious resource, which should not be wasted. Energy drives economies and sustains societies. Predictions show that the energy of electronics may soon consume 20% to 33% of the global ...
