摘要:
This application describes techniques for applying an algebraic multigrid method to analysis of circuit networks with irregular and regular circuit patterns. Adaptive processing may be applied to the grid coarsening and error smoothing operations to increase the processing speed.
摘要:
Designs and techniques for transmitting electrical signals via transmission lines on integrated circuits without distortion and at the speed of light. In one implementation, one or more leakage resistors are connected between the two conductor wires of a transmission line.
摘要:
The invention is directed to a method for clock distribution and VLSI circuits include a clock distribution network. In a method of the invention, a transmission lines are patterned as to connect a clock tree and a periodic waveform clock, preferably a sine waveform, is used to control clock skew, even at frequencies extending into the gigahertz range. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, an overlay includes differential pairs of transmission lines that connect the drivers of a clock distribution tree. In preferred embodiments of the invention, an H-tree clock distribution scheme is overlayed with a spiral of transmission lines, each realized by a differential conductors and driven using a sinusoidal standing wave to distribute global clock signals into local regions of the chip. Each transmission line connects drivers in the H-tree that are at the same level of the H-tree. In a VLSI chip according to an embodiment of the invention, the transmission line overlay delivers sinusoidal clock signals to local areas that are locally converted into digital clock signals. The invention thus presents a passive technique for clock distribution.
