  • Methods to gather and display pin congestion statistics using graphical user interface
    Patent number: 7275230
    Abstract: The present invention is a method for collecting, analyzing, and displaying statistics regarding block pin placement prior to routing of an integrated circuit. The statistics are graphically displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI graphically displays indications of where block pin congestion problems lie, which allows an integrated circuit designer to quickly pinpoint and correct pin placement in areas of pin congestion to alleviate congestion in these areas prior to routing.
