Abstract
Aspects for designing a timing closure of an integrated circuit include instantiating a minimum repeater between at least one block and a corresponding blockage if an interconnect crosses the corresponding blockage and according to a drive of the blockage. The aspects further include instantiating one or more smallest repeaters between at least one pair of connected blocks depending upon a drive of a corresponding interconnect, the instantiation of the smallest repeater being based on pre-determined criteria.
