Patent number: 6854094Abstract: A method for designing power supply wiring of a semiconductor integrated circuit having a logic circuit. A first power consumption value of the logic circuit is calculated based on logic connection information, and the power supply wiring is laid out in accordance with the first power consumption value. Logic modification connection information relating to the modified logic circuit is generated when the logic circuit is modified after the power supply wiring is laid out. A second power consumption value of the modified logic circuit is calculated based on the logic modification connection information. When the second power consumption value exceeds the first power consumption value, it is determined that the power supply wiring must be re-laid out. It is thus easily determined whether to re-lay out the power supply wiring without performing power supply network analysis.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2002Date of Patent: February 8, 2005Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Masuo Inui, Takashi Kurihara

Patent number: 6604229Abstract: In a higher layer, power source wiring is provisionally provided between a logic-decided functional block and the logic-undecided functional block. Then, a resistor network of the power source wiring within the logic-undecided functional block is prepared by assuming that a current source has been connected to a power source terminal of the logic-undecided functional block. A resistor network of a total power source wiring in the higher layer is prepared by using this local resistor network. An optimum width of the power source wiring is determined by analyzing this resistor network. Based on the width, the power source wiring of the higher layer is rewired.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2001Date of Patent: August 5, 2003Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Kenji Suzuki, Koji Banno, Toru Osajima, Takashi Yoneda, Takanori Nawa, Koji Tsuneto, Masuo Inui, Hiroyuki Yamamoto
