摘要: An apparatus and method for providing efficient floor planning, power, and performance tradeoffs of memory accesses. A dual read port and single write port memory bit cell uses two asymmetrical read access circuits for conveying stored data on two read bit lines. The two read bit lines are pre-charged to different voltage reference levels. The layout of the memory bit cell places the two read bit lines on an opposed edge from the single write bit line. The layout uses a dummy gate placed over both p-type diffusion and n-type diffusion between the edges. The layout has a same number of p-type transistors as n-type transistors despite using asymmetrical read access circuits. The layout also has a contacted gate pitch that is one more than the number of p-type transistors.

摘要: An electronic design flow generates an electronic architectural design layout for analog circuitry from a schematic diagram. The electronic design flow assigns analog circuits of the schematic diagram to various categories of analog circuits. The electronic design flow places various analog standard cells corresponding to these categories of analog circuits into analog placement sites assigned to the analog circuits. These analog standard cells have a uniform cell height which allows these analog standard cells to be readily connected or merged to digital standard cells which decreases the area of the electronic architectural design layout. This uniformity in height between these analog standard cells additionally provides a more reliable yield when compared to non-uniform analog standard cells.

摘要: A system determines physical design information along a logic hierarchy of a circuit design. The system accesses physical design metrics associated with different parts of a physical design of a circuit. The system accesses a logic design of the circuit comprising a hierarchy of logic blocks. The system determines the physical design metrics associated with one or more logic blocks of the hierarchy of the logic design based on a relation between the physical design and the logic design. The system configures a user interface to display the hierarchy of the logic design of the circuit along with the physical design metrics associated with the one or more logic blocks of the hierarchy. The system sends the configured user interface for display.
