The use of hierarchical DFT methods is growing as design size and complexity stresses memory requirements and design schedules. Hierarchical DFT divides the design into smaller pieces, creates test ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Hierarchical structures, including organizational structures and computer networks, are mathematically represented as "rooted trees" that connect related nodes with edges. These can be ...

Designers of system on a chip (SOCs) use many design methodologies, flows, and tools to achieve timing closure. The current physical synthesis tools attack the problem of block-level timing ...

A research team of Professor Yan Chen from the Tianjin University presents a reconfigurable hierarchical metamaterial, establishes a linear relationship between its stiffness and the number of active ...

Cell library: A compilation of standard cells, hard-IP (intellectual-property) cores, and other macro blocks that comprise different functions within a library that a layout tool uses to construct a ...

Version 10 of L-Edit Pro lets mixed-signal IC, MEMS, and integrated-optical-device designers increase design verification speed and analyze all-angle geometry prior to fabrication. The layout and ...
