    摘要: Embodiments herein include detecting a transformation in a circuit layout before clock tree synthesis is performed, and in response, estimating a latency offset, relative to a global latency value, for a clock pin in a clock gate circuit. Moreover, the embodiments includes determining, based on the latency offset, a timing constraint for combinational logic configured to generate an enable signal for the clock gate circuit and adjusting the circuit layout based on the timing constraint to affect when the combinational logic generates the enable signal.

    摘要: A power control semiconductor device includes: a voltage control transistor connected between an input terminal and an output terminal; a control circuit that controls the voltage control transistor in accordance with a voltage of the output terminal; and an external terminal that controls an output voltage externally. The control circuit includes: a first divider which has resistor elements connected in series to the output terminal and which divides the output voltage of the output terminal; a first error amplifier that outputs a voltage corresponding to a potential difference between a predetermined reference voltage and a voltage divided by the first divider; and an output voltage change circuit that changes the divided voltage in accordance with a voltage input to the external terminal to change the output voltage in accordance with the voltage of the external terminal.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for synthesis of a network, such as a network-on-chip (NoC), to generate a network description. The system generates a NoC description from a set of physical constraints and performance constraints as well as a set of inputs to a sequencer. The system produces the NoC with all its elements. The resulting network description output includes placement of elements on a floorplan of a chip that represents the network, such as the NoC.

    摘要: Critical dimension values can be obtained from wafer structures at predefined measurement sites. Coefficients of a preset model and another model with a different term are determined using critical dimension values from the measurement sites. The models approximate the critical dimension values, the process parameters and/or correction values of the process parameters as a function of at least two position coordinates. An updated model is selected from the models based on a criterion weighting the residuals between approximated critical dimension values, the number of terms of the model and/or the order or the terms of the model.

    摘要: A method of minimizing a cost function of a quantum computation is provided. The method comprises receiving input of an initial state of a quantum problem instance comprising a Hamiltonian with an associated cost function. The Hamiltonian is converted into a number of Pauli strings, which are used to form an operator pool. The Pauli strings in the operator pool are ranked according to how much they lower a value of the cost function with respect to the initial state. Pauli strings are iteratively added from the operator pool to a parameterized quantum circuit, in a manner to minimize circuit depth, until a variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) algorithm converges to an approximate ground state wave function generated by the parameterized quantum circuit.
