Input Files in Physical Design The input in physical design can be classified into two categories : a) Design Related (design dependent )and b) Technology related (design independent) Design Related : 1. Gate Level netlist (.v/…
CMOS Transition : Transition means changing from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0. Raise time : The amount of time taken to change the transition from low voltage to high voltage ( usually 10% to 90% of VDD) is called Raise time . O…
What is Physical Design ? Physical design refers to the process of converting a circuit high level logical description into its physical layout on a silicon chip. Integrated Circuit : a compact semiconductor device that contains…
Introduction Power Dissipation – the process in which electrical/electronics devices produce heat due to inefficiencies. Power dissipation in CMOS? Ultimate goal of VLSI engineers ? Design and develop high performance, longer ba…
Introduction Macros - pre-designed, reusable circuit blocks/components. memory, I/O cells, or complex logic blocks. used to simplify the design process, reduce design time and enhance the overall…
Parasitic Elements in VLSI Design What are Parasitic Elements? Parasitic elements are unintended circuit elements that negatively affect chip performance. Also known as non-ideal elements, they result from physical limit…
