Previous approaches to the pin assignment problem determine pin positions or admissible intervals on the block perimeters with the lengths of the respective nets as the only objective. Th authors describe a delay model for hierarchical combinational circuits which defines a linkage between the pins of different global nets in terms of timing dependencies. Based on this model they propose a slack optimization algorithm, which optimizes pin positions and routes for the global nets with respect to the timing requirements.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":118990,"journal":{"name":"Euro ASIC '91","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130957678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The boundary scan register is automatically created when compiling the pad ring and different parameterized function complexities allow easily the dedication of the TAP controller to any application. The user-defined elements implementation is also supported, especially by means of logic synthesis, and a test vector generation tool allows one to automatically generate the serial boundary scan test vectors from the parallel test vectors defined for the manufacturing test of the circuit. The cost of boundary scan integration has shown to be reasonable in the manufactured chips.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":118990,"journal":{"name":"Euro ASIC '91","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116724306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
