Physical Design Essentials explains the basic steps required in the physical design of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). The subject matter presentation follows the industry-common ASIC physical design flow.
Topics covered include:
Linear, non-linear, and polynomial characterization
Physical design constraints and floor planning styles
Algorithms used for placement
Clock tree synthesis
Algorithms used for global and detailed routing
Parasitic extraction
Functional timing and physical methods of verification
Testing Techniques
Physical Design Essentials is written for professional design engineers who need to be conversant with all aspects of ASIC design implementation: device processes, library development, place-and-route algorithms, verification, and testing.
