In this work, we propose a new signal routing method for solving routing problems that occur in the design process of semiconductor package substrates. Our work uses a topological transformation of ...

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 level of automation applied to analog design has never approached the level enjoyed by digital designers. For years designers have iterated through schematic entry, physical layout, parasitic ...

Market requirements are driving custom and analog/ mixed-signal (AMS) IC providers to develop ICs with ever-increasing complexity and performance. Current custom ICs are outgrowing the capabilities of ...
