TITLE: Timing-Driven Placement of Standard Cells
InternetCAD.com, Inc. is a software development company that
specializes in providing CAD (Computer Automated Design) tools
for IC (integrated circuit) designers. InternetCAD (iTools)
features a complete timing driven placement and routing tool
applicable to row based and building block design styles. ITools
handles any of the row-based design styles, namely, standard
cell, gate arrays and sea-of-gates circuits. In addition, iTools
is applicable to circuits containing building blocks or macro
cells of any rectilinear shape.
iTools uses new industry leading algorithms for each of the three
main steps:
1. timing driven placement
2. global routing
3. detailed routing.
Furthermore, the cells may have a fixed geometry including pin
locations (hard macro cells) or the cells may have an estimated
area with a specified aspect-ratio-range, with pins that need to
be placed (soft macro cells). ITools can also be applied to
floorplanning problems and mixed macro/standard cell circuits.
iTools are free to universities and lease for $25K/year to all
others.
