Abstract: A symmetric dual-voltage charge pump and its control circuit generate bipolar output voltages. The charge pump converts a unipolar power source to a set of dual-voltage outputs of opposite polarity that are completely independent of each other. The charge pump includes two voltage-boosting transfer capacitors and two output capacitors. Two-phase operation generates an increased-magnitude output voltage of a negative polarity and another two phases of operation generate an increased output voltage of a positive polarity. The charge pump selectively charges one or both of the bipolar outputs with individual 2-phase charge cycles or with a sequence of charge cycles. When controlled by comparators with unequal reference voltages, the charge pump can force the bipolar outputs to unequal positive and negative voltages. Charge pumping is faster since only 2 phases are needed for charging either the positive or negative output.

Abstract: The method and apparatus for performing design rule checking on Manhattan structures in VLSI circuit layouts. The method and apparatus provides an edge-endpoint-based technique for checking the geometry and spacing of the VLSI circuit layout. The edge-endpoint-based technique uses a scanline algorithm that detects errors between adjacent structures that do not simultaneously intersect the scanline. The method also provides efficient error compilation. The apparatus allows for the design rules to be changed as the VLSI circuit layout evolves. The apparatus can process the VLSI circuit layout with a single processor, and the apparatus provides for multiple processors to process slices of the VLSI circuit layout, thereby enhancing the speed of the design rule checking over traditional software-only techniques.
