Abstract

See full text

A method includes identifying a design area for a microelectronic device, where the design area includes a plurality of sub-units, each sub-unit from the plurality of sub-units capable of receiving a control signal. The method places a central latch in a center of the design area, where the central latch presents a connection point on a first level of the design area. Responsive to determining a sub-unit of the plurality of sub-units does not include a latch, the method creates a horizontal and vertical axis through the central latch, where the horizontal and vertical axis are bound by a perimeter of the design area. The method places a first set of latches for tiles created by the horizontal axis and the vertical axis on a second level of the design area, where each latch of the first set of latches is placed in a center of a single tile.
