  • Patent number: 6759768
    Abstract: Methods and devices for implementing repeaters in integrated circuit wire buses having a pre-determined wire pitch, such as a minimum wire pitch, are described. In one embodiment, a parameterized bus repeater circuit cell of variable length having a width of three times the wire pitch of the bus to be repeated is described. In another embodiment, a bus repeater circuit block having a plurality of individual bus repeater circuit cells is described. The embodiments of the present invention are readily adaptable to design implementations using computer-aided design tools to provide automated placement and array of the bus repeater circuit cells and bus repeater circuit blocks.
