ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 3 -- United States Patent no. 8,742,464, issued
on June 3, was assigned to Synopsys Inc. (Mountain View, Calif.).
"Power routing in standard cells" was invented by Deepak D. Sherlekar
(Cupertino, Calif.) and Vahe Hovsepyan (Yerevan, Armenia). According
to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An
integrated circuit created from a cell library of compact cells. The
cell library includes cells having a metal trace routed along the
boundary of the cells for carrying a power supply voltage. The
cells also include another metal trace routed along the interior
of the cells for carrying another power supply voltage. A cell pin
carrying an input signal or output signal of the cell is located
outside of the region between the two power rails. By routing the
power supply voltages and cell pins of the cell in this manner, the
integrated circuit created from the cell is extremely compact while
still complying with various design rules." The patent was filed
on March 3, 2011, under Application No. 13/040,228. *For further
