Efficient IR-Aware Powergrid Optimization
DescriptionAs design sizes and complexities grow, IR-drop is increasingly becoming a long-pole activity towards final signoff of digital designs. Manual fixing of IR issues in complex grids is iterative, time-consuming and often non-converging. Industry has used some form of IR-fixing ECO strategy – but those are custom and could not be generalized. With the pre-trained IR analytics and full integration into a P&R engine, Cadence Voltus InsightAI is expected to help improve turnaround time of powergrid closure for IR by automatically reinforcing the grid with additional stripes where needed. For that to work, a detailed design impact analysis is needed to create a comprehensive methodology encompassing the tool capabilities and working around its limitations. This paper will discuss that.
