    摘要: An apparatus and a method of generating a flexible ramptime limit for an electronic circuit, a computer program product that performs the same method, and a method of manufacturing an electronic circuit employing a flexible ramptime limit is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method for generating a flexible ramptime limit includes: (1) calculating a frequency based ramptime limit for the electronic circuit, (2) obtaining a library based ramptime limit for the electronic circuit, (3) determining a minimum ramptime limit between the frequency based ramptime limit and the library based ramptime limit and (4) selecting the minimum ramptime limit as the flexible ramptime limit.

    摘要: A dynamic power recovery system and method are disclosed herein. Additionally, an EDA tool and apparatus configured to perform dynamic power recovery are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) a power recovery module configured to carry out an instance of an initial power recovery process in each of multiple scenarios concurrently, the initial power recovery process including making first conditional downsizing of cells in at least one path in a circuit design with lower dynamic power cells and estimating a delay and a slack of the at least one path based on the first conditional downsizings and (2) a speed recovery module associated with the power recovery module and configured to carry out a speed recovery process in each of the multiple scenarios concurrently, the speed recovery process including determining whether the first conditional downsizings cause a timing violation with respect to the at least one path and making second conditional upsizings with higher dynamic power cells until the timing violation is removed.
