Physical Design
Teton capabilities include Physical Design effort collaborating with architecture, CAD, timing and logic design teams, with a critical impact on delivering outstanding Physical designs. All the way from RTL to GDSII.
Managing Multiple Power Domains:
Teton support ensures all the elements required in a low power design are included and used in accordance with the low-power specs. The software used in the digital implementation flow must be able to buffer on multiple power domains without errors and perform placement of all power management cells such as level shifters, isolation cells, power switch cells, and retention flip-flops. Power-sensitive designs also require routing secondary power/ground pins and routing to the power grid inside the voltage islands.
Optimising designs for low power:
By starting with the power metric as the top goal during optimization, the place-and-route flow can achieve the best possible power for that node, library, and design specs, and then optimise from that point to reach the timing target. Techniques deployed can be the following:
Physical
- Tradeoff small timing for large power reduction in CTS
- Clock transition fixing for better power
- Multi-bit-register merging and demerging
- Full LVF analysis and optimization to reduce over-design

Complex Clocking Scheme:
Synchronisation is very important in every digital circuit. For accuracy, high speed, with consistent output, without any critical race and also for low power purpose synchronisation is very much essential.
Place and Route Technology for complex SoC Designs:
Teton provides complete functionality for top-level hierarchical design and block-level implementation for complex digital IC designs.Our capabilities include fast design closure and optimal quality of results at a competitive runtime.
Static Timing Analysis:
Capabilities for closing complex multi-operating modes and multi-corner designs. Smart analysis of design based on process condition and applying the knowledge for a smooth timing closure of design.
Physical Verification, Power Verification and Formal Verification:
Teton capabilities include the use of EDA software tools to ensure correct electrical and logical functionality and manufacturability of complex, low power designs. Also we provide functional verification, a critical step in checking the functional equivalence of two designs.
Electro Static Discharge:
With each technology nodes the sudden flow of static electricity between two electrically charged objects varies and needs careful analysis and solution. Teton has the capability to analyse and provide solutions.
Voltage Drop:
Static and dynamic IR drop analysis and fixes.
Electromigration:
EDA tool used to analyse and resolve EM issues.
