Some methods that can improve the process include examining prints and removing information that distracts from the engineers’ design intent. An innovative approach to design intent looks at geometric ...
The good news is that there are many techniques available to optimize power in your design. The not-so-good news? Many of these power management techniques also create new complexities in the physical ...
Faced with shrinking feature sizes and increased densities, analog designers are forced more and more to rely on layout craft and specialized place and route techniques to meet design specifications ...
Design rule checking (DRC), layout versus schematic (LVS) and electrical rule checking (ERC) are physical verification techniques that are mandatory today to check a design and its structures before ...
About three years ago, timing closure for large system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs began to develop into one huge headache. Every EDA vendor’s toolset had its own interpretation of timing constraints, and ...
