  • Structure for automated transistor tuning in an integrated circuit design
    Patent number: 8010932
    Abstract: A design structure for tuning an integrated circuit design holds a reference clock signal constant across the integrated circuit design and, while the reference clock signal is held constant, optimizes transistors forming a register within the integrated circuit design and thereafter optimizes transistors forming one or more clock buffers coupled to the reference clock signal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 30, 2008
    Date of Patent: August 30, 2011
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Christopher M. Durham, Peter J. Klim, Robert N. L. Krentler
