Abstract:

Aiming at that there are many long paths in YHFTXX chip, the optimization of long wires in physical design is studied.The effect of three kinds of repeater insertion is studied,and the optimal sizes of repeaters and delays of different long wires after repeater insertion are obtained.Combined with the concrete engineering practice,the obtained results are used to optimize the delay of long paths. Regular repeater insertion is used to optimize the repeaters and the gaps between repeaters for the sake of reducing the path delay.Feedthrough technique is used to optimize the repeater insertion across modules,thus effectively reducing the delay and improving the timing performance of the chip.

Key words: repeater;long interconnect;optimization;delay
