  • Power routing in standard cells
    Patent number: 8941150
    Abstract: An integrated circuit created from a cell library of compact cells. The cell library includes cells having a metal trace routed along the boundary of the cells for carrying a power supply voltage. The cells also include another metal trace routed along the interior of the cells for carrying another power supply voltage. A cell pin carrying an input signal or output signal of the cell is located outside of the region between the two power rails. By routing the power supply voltages and cell pins of the cell in this manner, the integrated circuit created from the cell is extremely compact while still complying with various design rules.
    Type: Grant

  • Pin routing in standard cells
    Patent number: 8612914
    Abstract: Cells designed to accommodate metal routing tracks having a pitch that is an odd multiple of a manufacturing grid. The cells includes cell pins that are located within the cell based on the offsets of the routing tracks relative to the cell boundaries. The cell pins are wider than wires that are routed along the metal routing tracks. The standard cell may be placed in a layout in either a normal orientation or in a flipped orientation. In both orientations, the cell pins are aligned with the wires that are routed along the metal routing tracks.
