Power
Power We will discuss more about power analysis in ECO section while working on PDN, for now let’s take basic glimpse of the power analysis and consumption. There are basically 2 types of power consumption in VLSI design: 1. Dynamic…

Pin Placement & Power Mux Placement
Pin Placement Pin Placement details basically come from the TOP level design where we are having information to place pins according to the interaction with other HMs. We need to define edge, layer and location before placing pins. After pin…
Level Shifter Cell
Level Shifter Cell: In most of the Low Power Designs, there are one or more power domains where we have more power domains which operates at different voltage level in a single partition. In this case, we need different…
Retention Flops
Retention Flops: These cells are special flops with multiple power supply. They are typically used as a shadow register to retain their value even if the block in which they are residing is shut down. All the paths leading…
Isolation Cell Placement
Isolation cell placement Power domains in the design has been designed in such a way that whenever it is required it gets switched on otherwise it is switched off. To control this behavior, we need isolation cells. Isolation cells…
