This paper deals with the design and
optimization of mesh-based power/ground network for
cell-based VLSIs with macro cells. These macro cells
absorb a lot of current, furthermore, the current that each
pin of the macro cell absorbs is not known, which
introduces a new problem to the design of power routing.
This problem hasn't been discussed so far. In this paper, a
new algorithm is presented to solve this problem. The
algorithm includes 3 sub-algorithms: searching feasible
solution, cutting branches and minimizing strap width. The
algorithm has achieved the object which minimize the area
of power straps with high running speed.
