Routing algorithms in VLSI design form the backbone of interconnect synthesis, ensuring that circuit elements are connected efficiently while conforming to strict physical and timing constraints.

In this work, we propose a new signal routing method for solving routing problems that occur in the design process of semiconductor package substrates. Our work uses a topological transformation of ...

PCB routing methods continue to evolve, and flexible routing techniques can reduce wire length and free up space on a PCB. Traditional PCB routing is limited by fixation of coordinates of wires and by ...

Engineers use a redistribution layer (RDL) in flip-chip designs to redistribute I/O pads to bump pads without changing the I/O pad placement. However, traditional routing capacity may be insufficient ...

Routing protocols have far-reaching effects on the performance and reliability of your network, but sorting out the differences between them can be a challenge. Choose the best one for your network by ...

Charles Pfeil is an Engineering Director in the Systems Design Division at Mentor Graphics. My first experience with computerized printed-circuit-board (PCB) design was in 1978 when I acquired two ...
