helo ,
I dont know about ICC , I know cadence EDI ,
we have one command like refinePlace -preserverouting true (it's refine the overlaps cells ,without touching the previous nets )
can you try similar type command in ICC also....
if any cell varies depends upon pvt conditions.below once
1.process
2.voltage
3.temperature
for example:
if the cell voltage 0.9v ,cell delay: 0.02ps these values are taken as ruff values,
if cell voltage is decreased to 0.87 ,then delay of cell is increased.becaz transition time of cell take...
Hi,
clock buffers having drive strength is more compare to normal buffers.and it's having doping concentration is also high.......
so high drive strength buffers having equal rise and fall times.....tr and tf
Hi,
before your going to Place and Route ...do the sanity checks
zero wire load model we do the timing also we do reg2reg is positive or some margin....
and it's not more than 200ps or 500ps ,it' depend upon the top level timing margin
HI
...> skew is calculated between the two flops.these are two types
1.positive skew
2.negative skew
... > after CTS (clock tree synthesis) is done.then only you come up with skew number..
Clock.report
HI Kashfi Israr
I have shared below points it's my experienced ....
case1:using default cut vias probability of chips failure is exits.why because between two layers connect with single via .so via is not connected properly,so chip is malfunctioning.......
case2: using multi cut vias...
if you want run IR drop
must should be following input files are required
1.power pin locations of both VCC and GND (VCC.pp) (GND.pp)
2.bump files/bump lef
3. cl files of macros/std.cells and technololgy files
4.sdc (for twf file)
Hi deepen,
mainly lockup latches are used
1..lockup latches necessary to avoid skew problem during shift case of scan based testing
case1 :if launch flop and capture flop sitting for away.( physical design view )
..> it necessary to met skew two different clock domains
case2...
Hi
early power analysis
before your are going ran IR drop and EM in vstrom tool from cadence
1..In you design where the std.cells are placed close to each other or logic is placed only one side of core area,it causes IR drop issue
2..where you have seen long net ,it causes EM migration issue...
Hi
constant hierarchical pins are either connecting to zero or one....
In synthesized net list those hierarchical pins are connecting to tie Low or tie High ...

Hi
lockup latches are used scan based design for hold timing closure of shift modes.
where clock skew is large and meeting the hold timing is big challenge due to uncommon path,that is why lockup latches are used to connect two flops in scan chain having excessive clock skews/uncommon clock...
HI deepen,
Basically lockup latches are used scan based design.
1.two different clock domains
> Positive or negative level latch?? It depends on the path you are inserting a lockup latch. Since, lockup latches are inserted for hold timing; these are not needed where the path starts at a...
