| Summary: | 碩士 === 元智大學 === 資訊工程學系 === 101 === With the advances in integrated circuit(IC) technology, the costs of designing and manufacturing ICs increase dramatically. Structured ASIC was proposed for bridging the gap between standard cell ASIC and FPGA, and it’s a good choice for designer to balance the cost and performance. A few structured ASIC routers were proposed, however, none of them are able to handle a design containing IP blocks. In this thesis, we present a router which extends our previous work, Rover, for via configurable structured ASIC with standard cells and IPs. We also discuss some related issues such as placement and power planning issues related to router design. Moreover, we port two global routers, NTHU-route 2.0 and NCTU-GR, into our router. Experimental results show that our router can quickly and successfully route a via-configurable structured ASIC with standard cells and IPs.
