On chip variation
Global Variations These are PVT variations that depend on external factors like Process, Supply Voltage and Temperature. ICs are fabricated […]
PVT conditions in VLSI
PVT Variations PVT:PVT is abbreviation for Process, Voltage and Temperature. In order to make our chip to work inall possible
Understanding Useful Skew
Clock Latency What is Clock latency? Clock latency is the time taken by a clock signal to move from the
Placement stages in Physical Design
In this stage, all the standard cells are placed in the design (size, shape & macro-placement is done in floorplan).
Best Practices of Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS)
Avoiding Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS) Pitfalls. Here, some common problems are discussed that many design engineers today face when they
Power Planning
In the Physical design flow, Power planning is done once floorplanning gets completed. The idea here is to supply power
What is Milkyway Library and FRAM view?
Milkyway Library Milkyway is a Synopsys library format that stores all of circuit files from synthesis through place and route
SDC Constraints (Synopsys Design Constraint)
SDC Constraint files are given to the tool at each stage of the Physical Design flow i.e) Synthesis, Placement, CTS,
Unified Power Format (UPF)
UPF offers a comprehensive set of features that enable designers to effectively manage power intent throughout the design process, ensuring
UPF file contents
As semiconductor technology advances, chip complexity continues to escalate, leading to an exponential rise in power consumption. Efficiently managing power
