  • System and method for achieving timing closure in fixed placed designs after implementing logic changes
    Patent number: 6922817
    Abstract: A system and method for implementing logic changes in integrated circuits (ICs). In a preferred embodiment, donor logic elements are taken from donator logic paths. The donated cells are implemented into a logic path altered by an ECO. The donated cell is replaced by spare cells. Timing analysis is done to ensure all logic paths are timing closed.
    Type: Grant
