About this document

ECO Timing Optimization with Spare Cells by Siva Rao is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes an article about using spare cells for engineering change orders (ECOs) to optimize timing. It presents an algorithm to select spare cells for buffer insertion or gate sizing to improve timing on critical paths. The algorithm uses a bounding box approach to select spare cells near affected gates to minimize signal delay impacts. Experimental results show the approach effectively optimizes timing using spare cells for netlist changes.
