PC和SE有效结合的一种设计新方法

PC和SE分别是Synopsys和Cadence公司主要用于综合和布局布线的优秀EDA工具，两者在集成电路设计中有着紧密的联系。文章在介绍传统设计流程基础上，给出了PC与SE结合的新设计流程，介绍了PC不仅做综合．还兼做布局的设计思想。文章还讨论了PC与SE结合的不兼容问题，在实践基础上提出了解决方法。这种新设计方法对缩减设计周期、增强布局布线的合理性和可靠性提供了有益的参考。

A New and Effective Design Method of Combining PC with SE

PC(Physical Compiler) and SE(Silicon Ensemble) are powerful tools used to conduct synthesis and place&route, which belong to Synopsys and Cadence respectively. They are closely connected with each other in IC(integrated circuit) design. A new idea about how to do placement besides synthesis with PC is proposed in this paper. It also interprets how to solve the incompatibility between them. The paper will be a very useful reference to reduce design period and to enhance reasonability and reliability in place&route.
