Method of Achieving Timing Closure in Digital Integrated Circuits by Optimizing Individual Macros
摘要:
Disclosed is a method for enhanced efficiency and effectiveness in achieving closure of large, complex, high-performance digital integrated circuits. Circuit macros are re-optimized and re-tuned in the timing closure loop by means of a reformulated objective function that allows the optimizer to improve the slack of all signals rather than just the most critical one(s). The incentive to improve the timing of a sub-critical signal is a diminishing function of the criticality of the signal. Thus all signals are improved during the optimization, with the highest incentive to improve on the most critical signals, leading to faster and more effective overall timing closure.
