New Approach of IO Cell Placement Addressing Minimized Data and Clock Skews in Top Level
Galstyan Arman · 2023
Efficient data transfer and signal integrity are crucial in modern electronic systems and minimizing skew is a key aspect in achieving these objectives. As system frequencies continue to rise and signal integrity becomes more critical, the issue of temporal misalignment between signals poses significant challenges. The top-level design phase plays a crucial role in mitigating skew-related issues by carefully considering its impact on system performance. This paper focuses on the consideration of IO cells placement for skew minimization purposes during the top-level design implementation. It explores strategy and technique to optimize IO cell placement, ultimately reducing skew and enhancing system performance. Through practical examples, this paper provides valuable information for designers aiming to mitigate skew effects in their electronic system designs during top level design implementation.
