  • Publication number: 20110210453
    Abstract: When an electronic system is designed, then if an integrated circuit chip (LSI), a package (PKG), and a printed circuit board (PCB) are designed separately and in parallel, it will be found near the end of the design process that a satisfactory electrical characteristic is not achieved. Therefore, a design procedure of each part (e.g., an LSI, a PKG, a PCB, etc.) is decided, and allocation of resources to a part which is designed with a higher priority is decided, and thereafter, the other parts start to be designed. Therefore, a basic interconnect distribution for a circuit board is calculated based on a prediction function for predicting an interconnect distribution for the circuit board using design information of the circuit board as input data, and is output.
