Ranking-based Placement of IC Logic Cells

摘要

A method for placing logic cells of integrated circuits (IC) that takes into account the functional and logical features of the circuit. The proposed method is based on taking into account the flow of signals in the logic circuit. According to the proposed approach, a preliminary ranking of logical cells is performed, the results of which are later used in their placement. In accordance with the proposed method, an algorithm and software tool for allocation of logic ICs have been developed. Testing the program on test circuits showed the effectiveness of the proposed method.
