PPA Friendly Custom Repeater Tree Insertion for High-Speed Designs
DescriptionWhen EDA tools insert a sub-optimal number of repeaters in timing-critical paths, it can lead to significant performance issues in the design. This sub-optimal insertion often arises from either improper timing constraints or overly stringent transition limits. Even if the EDA tool manages to insert an optimal number of repeaters to meet the delay specifications, achieving consistency across multiple runs can still be a challenge. Variability in the results can stem from several factors, including tool algorithms, design changes, and environmental conditions. To achieve more predictable delay requirements in very high-speed designs, constructing a custom tree can be an effective strategy. This approach allows for a more tailored optimization of the signal paths, reducing path delay and ensuring that setup requirements are consistently met.
