A Method of Timing Closure Based on Crosstalk in Deep-Submicrometer Physical Design of SoC Chip
Luo Lan · Microelectronics & Computer · 2006
When SoC design goes into Deep-Submicrometer era, crosstalk effects cause a lot of design violations, especially to timing closure. In fact, it is difficult to estimate the crosstalk effects to circuit performance since it not only depends on interconnect topology but also lies on the signal dynamic characteristic. This paper studies the cause of crosstalk and then presents a method of how to prevent, analyze and fix the crosstalk for timing closure in Deep-Submicrometer physical design of SoC chip.
