CHIP-PKG-PCB Co-Design Methodology

چکیده
For digital devices integrating an image-processing LSI, performance improvement, cost cutting and reduction of the time to market are essential conditions for surviving in the increasingly competitive global market. At the same time, more and more image-processing LSIs are taking the form of large-scale system-on-a-chip (SoC). It is becoming harder to design them as the degree of integration increases, and signal and power integrity issues are appearing due to their processing speed increase and voltage reduction. As a design methodology to address four challenges in recent SoC design (signal and power integrity issues, high-density design, reduction of design turnaround time [TAT], and cost cutting), Fujitsu Semiconductor has established chip-package-printed circuit board (CHIP-PKG-PCB) co-design methodology and made achievements contributing to first-shot full operation of SoCs and digital devices that integrate them. This paper presents our approach to the CHIP-PKG-PCB co-design for dealing with the four challenges above by giving case examples.

Board driven I/O planning & optimization
The vast majority of IC’s that go into production must reside on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Unfortunately, the design and layout of this PCB is often an afterthought and never considered in the planning of the chip itself. The result is a PCB that is very difficult to complete on a minimal number of layers and signal integrity is often compromised. This often creates a huge bottleneck in th...

متن کاملImproved PCB circuit design by Co-designing chips with User Definable Pinouts
What if you could design ultimate boards simply by instructing your IC supplier to change the pinouts of the chips according to your needs? Today, that wish seems like a fairy-tale. Today’s reality is that the semiconductor chip design team decides what type of IC package to use and how to assign the pinouts. Legacy IC package pinouts are cast in stone and defined in the chipmaker’s datasheets....
متن کامل-chip Ic Decoupl Ing Measures
Over the years, many papers and articles have been written about optimizing off -chip IC decoupling. Many IC vendor application recommendations feature a cluster of decoupling capacitors adjacent to the IC, in close proximity to one another—viz. an electrolytic capacitor along with a small and a large value ceramic capacitor at the various supply nodes. Th e basic conviction underlying this app...
