    What is a CRRP and its advantage?

    Re: CRRP Hi, I will try to put in a different way CRPR stands for Clock Reconvergence Pessimism Removal. While doing FF-FF timing analysis, we are adding up the common clock path twice for the data path and the clock path. This leads to pessimistic results. When we use the CRPR switch we...

    Global routing and is detail and global router the same?

    Re: globalrouting Hi, In global routing stage the tool just assigns particular a route to a particular GRC and the layer name. Routing doesnt take place inGR. Ony during the track assignment detail routing the routing takes place. We have options to use non-preferred routing in some special cases.

    Power analysis using JupiterXT

    jupiterxt guide Hi Siva, JupiterXT has a power analysis utility called PNA(Power Network Analysis). Eventhough it is not sign-off it is a useful one to do some analysis like IR Drop values, voltage maps during intitial stages. For your case you can do a comparision study. Check in solvenet...

    What happens during tapeout?

    Re: tapeout It is a stage where you handover your chip design to the foundry like TSMC,UMC etc . You need to follow guidelines and fill the required data asked by the foundry. You have to make sure you design is clean in aspects like timing,DRC, LVS, Antena, Density, FIll before giving the...

    Clock distribution and power routing

    high frequency power routing In general for high frequency designs we route the clock nets close to the power or ground nets to shield the clock tree from unwanted crosstalk effects.

    help: how can I do in Astro follow with 0.13um process

    Hi, There Astro usage wont differ much provided u r using the correct technology data (tf, itf for tluplus) for the respective tehcnology. Once difference I remember is the notch fill methadology which is different in 130 and 180 in Astro. As newcpu told we should consider SI when Implementing...

    What is the significance of preserving hierarchy in Astro?

    Re: hierarchy designs It is important to preserve the hierarchy in Astro if you need a hierarchial verilog out. When you select the preserve hierarchy the Astro will initiate the Common Graph which keeps tracking the hierarchial boundaries when the implemnetation is goiong on. When you want...

    How do we connect all VDD, VSS to global VDD /VSS nets ?(aprPGConnect)

    aprpgconnect hi Prasad, You are right. The aprPGConnect, is used for logical connection of all VDD, VSS nets of all modules. For physical connection you can use the axgCreateStandardcellRails command to create the std cell rails and through them connect to the rings or the straps depending...
