Abstract: A method involves: detecting a timing violation in a timing path included in an integrated circuit design; removing a wire, which couples two nodes in the integrated circuit design and is included in the timing path; and routing a new wire between the two nodes. The new wire is longer than the removed wire. The method can also involve: calculating timing information (e.g., delay and/or slew information) for the wires included in the timing path and selecting the wire for removal dependent on the timing information. In some embodiments, such a method eliminates timing violations that arise due to crosstalk in a single post-timing-analysis routing pass.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for modeling an input/output cell located on the perimeter of an integrated circuit. A method is taught to model an the integrated circuit when sufficient area is not available on the perimeter of the integrated circuit. The input/output cell can be modeled in two locations; one location on the perimeter of the cell and a second location in the interior area, or core, of the integrated circuit. The model uses a cover to prevent the area of the core of the integrated circuit from being used for other purposes. When the input/output cell is divided into a main cell and more than one pre-cell, the model uses a cover for each pre-cell. The model adjusts the timing of the signals to compensate for the input/output cell being divided into two areas. In an embodiment a software tool performs the functions of the model.
