TX7901 is an ASSP which includes TX79 processor core and many IPs. All blocks are synthesizable and flip flop based designs. TX7901 is developed by tiling design methodology to get quick turn around time. Chip size is 59mm/sup 2/ with 0.18/spl mu/m, 6-layer metal process. Major DFT features are scan and direct memory test. Most logic portions are scannable. direct memory test covers all memory arrays.

Interconnect delay is dominant in today's high speed VLSI circuits and there have been various studies on ways to resolve it. A repeater insertion tool "RePertory" has been developed to solve the interconnect timing problem on a 300 MHz 128-bit 2-way superscalar microprocessor. Because of its practical simple algorithm, the location of over 5700 repeaters distributed over 5 modules is calculated in 26 minutes on 5 UltraSPARC-II 360 MHz in parallel. This paper describes the goals of RePertory for this project, the timing improvement flow with RePertory, the results and analysis of this repeater insertion method.
