  • Abstract
    A modification of the standard cell methodology to obtain area reduction in synthesized digital system layouts is presented. The proposed modifications consist in the full-custom redesign of the standard cell library and the application of a compaction algorithm in the step of cell placement. The effectiveness of the methodology has been shown compacting the cores of four digital systems. In the test were obtained reductions 22% minimum with a minimal increase in computational time.
