Method and apparatus for congestion aware buffering using power supply isolation pathway for integrated circuit design with multiple power domains

摘要

By limiting the placement of the buffers in the patterned area associated with the second power domain, associated with a first power domain that is different from the second power domain associated with these buffers and the buffered net A semiconductor device for buffering nets routed through one or more areas is provided herein. This not only allows the buffered net wiring to be determined based on the shortest distance to move from point A to point B, but also takes into account wiring congestion on the semiconductor device. Thus, if the area on the semiconductor device is congested, the buffered net can be routed around the congestion. Thus, the path taken by a particular signal through an integrated circuit is not a direct route, but it can still be a distance to support the rate at which a particular signal needs to be transferred.
