The cell BE design methodology is described which enables high frequency, high performance, power efficient, and area optimized design. It includes a hierarchical design style, clean clock boundary, effective use of non-scan latches, at-speed scan testing, custom design like synthesized macro, fine grained clock gating scheme, and cycle accurate power analysis.
