Summary

• The move to higher levels of integration has increased the fraction of application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) designs containing both analog and digital circuits. While the die area for the analog portion of these chips is modest, the design time is often significant. This has motivated the development of automated analog physical design tools for cell-level place-and-route and system-level signal-integrity-routing.
• To date, there is no tool that has specifically addressed the critical design task of synthesizing the power distribution for the analog portion of an analog or mixed-signal ASIC. Synthesis of Power Distribution to Manage Signal Integrity in Mixed-Signal ICs describes algorithms for analog power distribution synthesis and demonstrates their effectiveness.
• .
• Synthesis of Power Distribution to Manage Signal Integrity in Mixed-Signal ICs addresses power distribution synthesis for mixed-signal integrated circuits. Several key challenges in power distribution design are identified and automated methods to overcome them are described.
• This book presents a new formulation for the analog power distribution synthesis problem which synthesizes both the power busses power I/O cell assignment by evaluating DC, AC, and transient interaction between the macros, busses, chip substrate, and package. Further, algorithms are introduced which simultaneously optimize power I/O cell assignment, macro cell substrate coupling, power bus topology selection and power bus sizing.
• . Synthesis of Power Distribution to Manage Signal Integrity in Mixed-Signal ICs will be of interest to CAD designers and researchers specializing in physical design, modeling and circuit synthesis.
