Calculation of ramp response of lossy transmission lines using two-port network functions
In this paper, we present a new analytical approach for computing the ramp response of an RLC interconnect line with a pure capacitive load. The approach is based on the two-port ...

Sequence-pair based placement method for hard/soft/pre-placed modules
This paper proposes a placement method for a mixed set of hard, soft, and pre-placed modules, based on a placement topology representation called sequence-pair. Under one sequence...

Timing metrics for physical design of deep submicron technologies
Performance-driven physical design is becoming more important as advances in IC technologies enable gigahertz operating frequencies. These same IC technologies, however, exhibit d...

Performance-driven soft-macro clustering and placement by preserving HDL design hierarchy
In this paper, we present a performance-driven softmacro clustering and placement method which preserves HDL design hierarchy to guide the soft-macro placement process. We also pr...

New efficient algorithms for computing effective capacitance
We describe a novel iterationless approach for computing the effective capacitance of an interconnect load at a driving gate output. Our new approach is considerably faster than p...
