摘要: A method, system, and computer usable program product for multiple threshold voltage cell families (mVt families) based integrated circuit design are provided in the illustrative embodiments. The integrated circuit includes cells, and a cell includes an electronic component. A design process is initialized by using cells from the mVt families in the design. The cells from the mVt families are included in iterative manipulation of the design. The cells from the mVt families are further included in violation cleanup and subsequent steps of the design process. A version of the design is produced that is usable to implement the circuit with the cells from the mVt families.

摘要: A method, system, and computer usable program product for buffer-aware routing in integrated circuit design are provided in the illustrative embodiments. The design has cells, and the circuit includes buffers and wires. A route is received from a set of routes. The route couples a first point in the circuit to a second point in the circuit and including at least one buffer between the first point and the second point. A determination is made whether the route violates a set of hard constraints for a part of the circuit, where the set of hard constraints includes a reach length constraint. In response to the route not violating any hard constraint in the set of hard constraints, the route is selected as a buffer-aware routing solution between the first and the second points in the circuit.

摘要: Mechanisms are provided for generating a logic design of an integrated circuit device. An initial logic design representation of the integrated circuit device is received and one or more areas of the initial logic design representation are identified where logic elements in the one or more areas can be replaced with one or more multiplexer tree structures. Logic elements in the one or more areas of the initial logic design representation are replaced with multiplexer tree structures to generate a modified logic design representation. The modified logic design representation is output to a physical synthesis system to generate a physical layout of the integrated circuit device based on the modified logic design representation.

摘要: An electronic automation design tool with a sink locator unit creates clusters of loads from a plurality of loads within a sector of a clock network design based on balancing magnitudes of the loads among the clusters of loads and based on minimal delays of each of the clusters and respective ones of a plurality of sink locations in the sector of the clock network design. The tool determines centers of the clusters of loads, and sink locations corresponding to the centers of the clusters for connecting output terminal points of sector buffers are determined. Each of the sector buffers drive a clock signal to a corresponding one of the clusters of loads.
