TOPIC AREA: PHYSICAL CIRCUIT DESIGN (tools) | ||
| SESSION 30 | |||
| Coping with Buffering | |||
| Chair: Dinesh Gaitonde - Synopsys, Inc., Mountain View, CA | |||
| Organizers: Dirk Stroobandt, Igor Markov | |||
| This session introduces novel methods for economical buffer insertion. The first paper presents dual-Vdd buffer tree construction for power minimization under delay constraints. The next two papers focus on minimizing the overall number of repeaters in a circuit. The fourth paper resolves overlaps between repeaters and pre-existing cells. | |||
