EDA start-up Azuro Inc wants to help ASIC designers get a better handle on IC power conservation and ultimately lengthen the runtimes of their wireless applications. Toward that end, the company ...

Clock tree synthesis (CTS) is a critical step in the physical implementation flow. An optimized clock tree (CT) can help avoid serious issues (excessive power consumption, routing congestion, ...

Clock tree synthesis (CTS) is at the heart of ASIC design and clock tree network robustness is one of the most important quality metrics of SoC design. With technology advancement happened over the ...

SAN MATEO, Calif. — Claiming to have a full RTL-to-GDSII design flow at last, Monterey Design Systems has added logic synthesis to its Dolphin placement and routing system. The Dolphin-RTL synthesis ...

Clock tree methodology for HPC ICs. Among other top challenges in HPC designs is clock tree synthesis (CTS). CTS is a critical step in the physical design process, as it determines the final timing of ...

The smaller the skew budget, the deeper the clock tree tends to be.” Alpert asserts that “building a clock tree is essentially a mini physical synthesis (P&R) flow. One must place the clock cells ...

A renewed emphasis on high-frequency clock design has heightened interest in multisource clock-tree synthesis (CTS). This tutorial covers how to implement a multisource CTS design.

The latest ALINT-PRO release completely replaces previous Aldec DRC solution, ALINT™, providing a natural verification flow, and numerous usability, performance and quality enhancements.

Finally, the tool can be used after clock-tree synthesis (CTS), when it won't disturb sequential elements or the clock tree itself. Yet it will help tighten up negative-slack paths inserted during ...
