Buffer Design and Assignment for Structured ASIC
In modern VLSI design, interconnection delay dominates the circuit delay due to its heavy downstream capacitance. Buffer insertion is a widely used technique for splitting a long wire into several buffered wire segments for circuit performance improvement. In this paper, we investigate buffer insertion issues in structured ASIC design style. We design the layout for two dedicated buffers and ex...

متن کاملEnergy Recovering ASIC Design
Dissipation in the clock tree and state elements of ASIC designs is often a significant fraction of total energy consumption. We propose a methodology for recovering most of this energy by using a novel energy recovering flip-flop and a novel single-phase resonant clock generator. As our state element has near-zero energy consumption when the input data is not switching, it provides the savings...
متن کاملASIC Design at Home
A possibility to overcome the problem of organizing a diploma–thesis at a distance university with focus on practice in the design of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) is presented with the aid of an example. A student of electrical engineering designed a fast arithmetical unit for use in a digital filter with a VHDL software package (ALLIANCE [see laboratory 1994]) freely distri...
متن کاملTechnology-migratable ASIC library design
A library strategy has been developed to enable IBM Microelectronics ASIC development to keep pace with rapid technology enhancements and to offer leadingedge performance to ASIC customers. Library elements are designed using migratable design rules to allow designs to be reused in future advanced technologies; and library contents, design methodology, test methodology, and packaging offerings ...
