Datapath libraries

There are two kinds of datapath libraries:

Here the cells share the power and ground lines in metal2. A powerful dedicated over the cell router can route custom blocks and logic glue in the same structure. Among the fplib functionnalities, four optimized blocks generators should be presented in more details, as they reflect the quality of this library. All the generators are build with a tiler using a dedicated leaf cell library. Their output is a symbolic layout, a VHDL behavior, a set of pattern for test purpose, a netlist, an icon, and a datasheet indicating size and timing estimation for a given technology. The structural parameters varies according to their functionalities.
