  • Integrated circuit chip with repeater flops and methods for automated design of same
    Patent number: 8607178
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) chip having repeaters for propagating signals along relatively long wires that extend between and among lower-level physical blocks of the IC chip, wherein the repeaters are implemented as clocked flip-flops (or “repeater flops”). A method for automatically inserting and allocating such repeater flops during the logical and physical design of the IC chip is also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 30, 2012
    Date of Patent: December 10, 2013
    Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
    Inventors: Stuart A. Taylor, Victor Ma, Bharat Patel
