摘要:
In a semiconductor integrated circuit, there is provided a method for correcting crosstalk, which exerts an influence via coupling capacitance between wiring by the signal transitions between adjacent wiring, comprising the step of creating a candidate for buffer division, the step of creating a candidate for cell movement, or the step of victim net logic synthesis. Thereby, the crosstalk is corrected through the buffer division, the cell movement, or an increase of elements in number by logic decomposition, logic inversion and a change of fan-outs in number.

A delay calculation method considering a net adjacent to a delay calculation object net of a semiconductor integrated circuit includes: an adjacent net internal resistance selecting step of selecting a combination of static state of an adjacent net driving cell; a coupling capacitance grounding step of multiplying a coupling capacitance by a coefficient obtained from an internal resistance of the adjacent net driving cell selected by the adjacent net internal resistance selecting step, and the like, and grounding the value obtained thereby as the coupling capacitance of the delay calculating object net; and a delay value deriving step of deriving the delay value from a circuit obtained by these steps. A problem of the delay calculation method that an accurate delay value cannot be obtained because in actuality, the adjacent wire whose potential fluctuates is approximated to zero potential is solved by this structure.
摘要:
A timing window (TW) representing a time zone where a signal transition possibly occurs in a time axis is generated for each of input signals in input terminals in a multi-input logic cell based on a signal transition timing in each of the input terminals. An overlap between the timing windows (TW) of input signals is detected, and a circuit delay time is calculated by selectively using one of a synchronous transition time and an asynchronous transition time in accordance with the overlap between the timing windows (TW). These processing steps are sequentially repeated to eliminate an optimistic or pessimistic analysis in the calculation of delay times in the multi-input logic cell.

摘要:
An effective input terminal capacitance which is effectively equivalent to a cell in which a waveform distortion is caused due to the Miller effect and a drive load connected to the cell is calculated in advance, and the cell and the drive load are replaced by the calculated effective input terminal capacitance, while considering that the Miller effect is caused according to the size of the drive load driven by a delay time calculation subject circuit, such as a cell, or the like, and a distortion occurs in input and output waveforms of the delay time calculation subject circuit due to the Miller effect. Thereafter, a circuit simulation is carried out using the effective input terminal capacitance. A resultant effective input terminal capacitance value is characterized as a function of an input slope waveform and the drive load and converted to table data.
