Design Closure

Design closure is the process by which a VLSI design is modified from its initial description to meet a growing list of design constraints and objectives.

Every step in the IC design (such as static timing analysis, placement, routing, and so on) is already complex and often forms its own field of study. This article, however, looks at the overall design closure process, which takes a chip from its initial design state to the final form in which all of its design constraints are met.

    Teaching is the perpetual end and office of all things. Teaching, instruction is the main design that shines through the sky and earth.
