Patent
Methods and apparatuses for thermal analysis based circuit design
TL;DR: In this paper, a thermal analysis is used to determine the temperature dependent power dissipation of a circuit and the temperature distribution of the circuit resulting from dissipating the heat created by the temperature-dependent power disipation.
Patent
Integrated Circuit Devices and Methods and Apparatuses for Designing Integrated Circuit Devices
TL;DR: In this article, a shielding mesh of at least two reference voltages (e.g., power and ground) is used to reduce both the capacitive coupling and the inductive coupling in routed signal wires in IC chips.
Patent
Methods and apparatuses for designing integrated circuits
TL;DR: In this article, a hardware description language (HDL) code is compiled to produce a technology independent RTL (register transfer level) netlist, and a portion of an area of the IC is allocated to a specific portion of the RTL netlist.
Patent
Hardware/software co-debugging in a hardware description language
TL;DR: In this article, techniques and systems for analysis, diagnosis and debugging fabricated hardware designs at the hardware description language (HDL) level are described, although the hardware designs were designed in HDL and have been fabricated in integrated circuit products with limited input/output pins.
Patent
Methods and apparatuses for transient analyses of circuits
TL;DR: In this paper, the cells in a group are partitioned as switching cells and non-switching cells using cell toggle rates for the determination of the time varying current of each cell group using a probabilistic approach to represent the cell group so that the probability of a more severe waveform for the current of the cell groups is under a certain level.
