摘要

Cost function ID-drop PDN Refinement Power systems Refining Resistance Routing Routing Congestion Strips Timing Timing Optimization Transistors Voltage Wires
Power Distribution Network (PDN) are indispensable for modern integrated circuits (ICs), providing supply voltage and ground to transistors. However, the presence of IR-drop, caused by parasitic resistance in power network wires, can degrade circuit performance by reducing noise margins. Previous research tackled IR-drop reduction by refining PDN, but overlooked routing issues leading to circuit timing challenges. This paper proposes a novel framework addressing both concerns. Our approach enhances power network design by strategically adding power stripes to optimize circuit timing, mitigate IR-drop, and alleviate routing congestions. Experimental results demonstrate a 5.8% improvement in total negative slacks compared to the original design.
