  • Patent number: 10551869
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to digital synchronous circuits that introduce clock skew without requiring clock buffers in a clock network. In one embodiment, the digital synchronous circuit includes a first flip flop and a second flip flop. The first flip flop is synchronized to be transparent and to be opaque in accordance with a first clock signal while the second flip flop is configured such that the second flip flop is synchronized to be transparent and to be opaque in accordance with a second clock signal. However, the second flip flop is configured to generate the first clock signal such that the second flip flop provides the first clock signal in a first clock state in response the second flip flop becoming transparent and provides the first clock signal in a second clock state in response the second flip flop becoming opaque thereby providing a clock skew without clock buffers.

  • Patent number: 9876503
    Abstract: A threshold logic element (TLE) is disclosed. The TLE includes a first input gate network, a second input gate network, and a differential sense amplifier. The first input gate network is configured to receive a first set of logical signals and the second input gate network configured to receive a second set of logical signals. The differential sense amplifier is operably associated with the first input gate network and the second input gate network such that the differential sense amplifier is configured to generate a differential logical output in accordance with a threshold logic function. To obfuscate the TLE, any number of obfuscated transmission gates can be provided in one or both of the input gate networks. The obfuscated transmission gates are obfuscated such that obfuscated transmission gates are incapable of effecting the threshold logic function of the TLE and thus hide the functionality of the TLE.

  • Patent number: 8380468
    Abstract: A system, method, and software program for facilitating the assignment of cell specifications to a plurality of cells of a system design. The methods include generating a plurality of candidate cell specifications that meet the specification for the system design. In one embodiment, the method entails using information related to intra-range preference for cell specifications to generate a set of alternative system pareto-optimal solutions which define a boundary of a region of candidate cell specifications. In another embodiment, the method entails generating a substantially uniform set of candidate cell specifications using a prediction-based performance model, such as support vector regression model or cluster-weighted model, an optimizing algorithm such as conjugate-gradient or Markov Chain Monte Carlo Method, and a sample density model.

  • Patent number: 7735048
    Abstract: Methods achieve fast parasitic closure in IC (integrated circuit) synthesis flow with particular application to RFIC (radio frequency integrated circuit) synthesis flow. Parasitic corners generated based on earlier layout statistics are incorporated into circuit resizing to enable parasitic robust designs. The worst-case parasitic corners are generated efficiently without expensive statistical computations. A performance-driven placement with simultaneous fast rough routing and device tuning generates high quality placements and compensates for layout induced performance degradations. A regression-tree based macromodeling methodology is introduced for modeling of electrical performances to enable true performance-driven layout synthesis. To improve sampling quality, an annealing-based placer can be used to perform sampling. The modeling methodology can be adapted to include automatically adjusting the device tuning ranges to meet certain model accuracy requirements.
