INTEGRATED CIRCUIT INCLUDING STANDARD CELLS, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, AND COMPUTING SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18167421 titled 'INTEGRATED CIRCUIT INCLUDING STANDARD CELLS, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, AND COMPUTING SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD
Simplified Explanation
An integrated circuit is described in this patent application. The circuit includes a standard cell with two output pins that both output the same signal. There are two routing paths connected to each output pin, with each path containing at least one load cell. Importantly, the two routing paths are electrically disconnected from each other outside of the standard cell.
- The integrated circuit includes a standard cell with two output pins that output the same signal.
- There are two routing paths connected to each output pin.
- Each routing path contains at least one load cell.
- The routing paths are electrically disconnected from each other outside of the standard cell.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This integrated circuit design can be used in various electronic devices, such as smartphones, computers, and IoT devices.
- It can be applied in data processing systems, communication systems, and other electronic systems that require efficient signal routing.
Problems solved by this technology:
- By providing two output pins that output the same signal, the circuit ensures redundancy and reliability in signal transmission.
- The electrically disconnected routing paths prevent interference and crosstalk between the two paths, improving signal integrity.
Benefits of this technology:
- The redundancy in signal transmission enhances the reliability and fault tolerance of the integrated circuit.
- The electrically disconnected routing paths minimize signal interference, leading to improved signal quality and performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
An integrated circuit includes a standard cell including a first output pin and a second output pin configured to each output the same output signal, a first routing path connected to the first output pin, and a second routing path connected to the second output pin. The first routing path includes a first cell group including at least one load cell, the second routing path includes a second cell group including at least one load cell, and the first routing path and the second routing path are electrically disconnected from each other outside the standard cell.
