| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a method for designing initial placement of functional blocks and designing power distribution network of a semiconductor integrated circuit in the next stage of architecture level design of integrated circuit, which estimates the area and the quantity of power consumption of functional blocks and integrated circuit using design specifications of the functional blocks constructing the integrated circuit, that is, interconnection between functional blocks and an estimated size of the functional blocks which is determined in an architecture level design process. The present invention enables initial functional block placement in consideration of power consumption of the functional blocks and analyze reliability of power distribution network even prior to detailed circuit design. |
