hi all,
can anyone explain to me how to calculate or determine the fanout_load value for a pin of a std cell library core cell; and the drive strength value of an output?
I know that fanout_load value is important in determining whether the maximum_fanout of an output has been violated. However, how do we determine the most suitable max_fanout value or limit for an output. Can it be calculated...?
As for the drive strength....I knoe drive strength means the total nodal capacitance that can be discharged/charged or driven by an output. But how do we calculate drive strength value...?
Thanks in advance.
