Buffer insertion to remove hold violations at multiple process corners is addressed for the first time. The problem is formulated as integer linear programming (ILP); it is combined with circuit partitioning heuristic so that larger circuits can also be handled. A heuristic buffer insertion algorithm is then proposed and compared to ILP, which demonstrates only a slight increase of the number of buffers...
Dual edge-triggered flip-flop (DETFF) captures data at both clock edges. We observe that conventional sequential circuit that contains single edge-triggered flip-flops (SETFFs) can be simplified by identifying pairs of combinational subcircuits that are structurally identical, removing one subcircuit of each pair, and providing input data twice by using DETFFs where SETFFs have been used. The resulting...
Clock gating is typically dictated by designers in register transfer level (RTL). Automatic synthesis of clock gating in gate level has been less explored, but is certainly more convenient to designers; it can also complement RTL clock gating by extracting additional gating conditions. The key problem in gate-level clock gating synthesis is to implement gating conditions with minimum amount of additional...
A floorplanning has a potential to reduce chip temperature due to the conductive nature of heat. If floorplan optimization, which is usually based on simulated annealing, is employed to reduce temperature, its evaluation should be done extremely fast with high accuracy. A new thermal index, named thermal signature, is proposed. It approximates the temperature calculation, which is done by taking the...
