Latest Patents
One of Andrew Nikishin's latest patents is a method for matching timing on high fanout signal paths using routing guides. This invention discloses a method, algorithm, software, architecture, and system for routing signal paths or connections between circuit blocks in a circuit design. The method includes determining a signal path between at least three circuit blocks, placing a routing guide, and routing the signal path through the routing guide to ensure that the timing of a signal along the signal path at two or more circuit blocks is substantially matched. The circuit blocks can include standard cells configured to implement a logic or timing function, other components, and/or integrated circuits. The routing guide can include a splitter configured to branch the signal path into at least two associated segments. This invention can advantageously improve signal timing for high fanout signal paths between circuit blocks in an automated place-and-route flow.
