Abstract:
A method, system, and computer product for performing a coupled noise analysis in an integrated circuit (IC) design include copying one or more victim circuit sections of a victim circuit in the IC, generating a blockage circuit section that represents a blockage aggressor circuit in the IC, using the copied one or more victim sections of the victim circuit, determining at least one subcircuit from the blockage circuit section, selecting, for a victim pin on the victim circuit, a power-driven virtual node on the at least one subcircuit, applying a power source to the power-driven virtual node on the at least one subcircuit, calculating a coupled noise at the victim pin contributed by the at least one subcircuit in response to the power source being applied, comparing the coupled noise to a threshold noise level, and altering the IC design when the coupled noise exceeds the threshold noise level.

Claim (Index 7):
The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:\n identifying adjacent first and second coupling capacitors coupled between the blockage circuit section and the one or more victim circuit sections; determining a distance between the first and second coupling capacitors; and when the distance of the first and second coupling capacitors exceeds a reference distance, determining that one portion of the blockage circuit section coupled to the first coupling capacitor and another portion of the blockage circuit section coupled to the second coupling capacitor are respectively two subcircuits electrically isolated from each other within the blockage circuit section.
