SUMMARY:Expediting Data Converter Layouts using Design Planning & Analysis
  (DPA) Automation
DESCRIPTION:Designer, IP and Embedded Systems Track Presentations\n\nExped
 iting Data Converter Layouts using Design Planning & Analysis (DPA) Automa
 tion\n\nThompson, Kumar, Bhargava, LaBorde\n\nHierarchical Designs are cha
 llenging to plan and estimate while layout implementation specially when s
 ub-cells layout views are not present throughout the hierarchy. Generate A
 ll From Source for top cell generates all hierarchical contents flat at to
 p layout view, this becomes very challenging to floorplan and estimate the
  aspect ratio of sub-cells and top-cell, this way it adds lot of re-work a
 nd iterations to layout designer.\n\nFor designs that have unimplemented l
 ayout views existing at the top level and the levels below and where the s
 chematic has a hierarchy and some or all levels of the schematic hierarchy
  have unimplemented layout views. Usually, for such designs, the placement
  at the top level is oblivious to the actual lower-level instances, so the
  top-level placement is often based on estimation. After the design is rou
 ted, there might be changes needed to the top level that are often expensi
 ve to accommodate. \n\nWith DPA, we can seamlessly implement both advanced
  and mature nodes, backed by real routing data. It uses the schematic hier
 archy to create virtual hierarchy that can be realised, when appropriate. 
 Blocks that have an existing layout in place and soft blocks, both are rec
 ognised by the DPA as valid inputs for planning.\n\nVirtual Program: Prese
