    摘要: A method for converting globally clock-gated circuits to locally clock-gated circuits is disclosed. A timing analysis is initially performed on an integrated circuit (IC) design to generate a slack time report for all globally clock-gated circuits within the IC design. Based on their respective slack time indicated in the slack time report, all globally clock-gated circuits that should be connected to locally generated clocks are identified. After disconnecting from a global clock tree, each of the identified globally clock-gated circuits is subsequently connected to a locally generated clock having a clock delay comparable to its slack time indicated in the slack time report.

    摘要: A method of balancing signal interconnect path delays between an analog domain and a digital domain of an integrated circuit includes applying a test signal to a selected one of a plurality of communication paths between the analog domain and the digital domain. A rising edge delay and a falling edge delay of the test signal is equalized by adjusting a body bias voltage of a delay element configured within the selected communication path. A rising edge delay and a falling edge delay for each of the remaining communication paths is compared with the equalized rising edge delay and falling edge delay of the selected communication path, and a body bias voltage for one or more of a plurality of delay elements configured within each of the remaining communication paths is adjusted until corresponding rising and falling edge delays thereof match the equalized rising edge delay and falling edge delay of the selected communication path.
