There are have been numerous papers written on the techniques that can be employed during integrated circuit (IC) design to achieve better overall manufacturability and yield. These ...

Routing algorithms in VLSI design form the backbone of interconnect synthesis, ensuring that circuit elements are connected efficiently while conforming to strict physical and timing constraints.

Automating analog design requires that constraints such as symmetry and matching, noise coupling, and the use of shielding be part of the automated flow. Commercial routers capable at the device level ...

Ensuring data gets to where it’s supposed to go at exactly the right time is a growing challenge for design engineers and architects developing heterogeneous systems. There is more data moving around ...

As the industry continues to press forward with 65-nm design starts and early production volumes, most of the buzz surrounding DFM has focused on the critical chip layers that form the transistor ...

Using SPI interface to free FPGA routing resources is allowing over 90% utilization, fast timing closure and supports modular design approach without consequences. When doing designs with FPGA you are ...
