ABSTRACT:
A standard cell for standard-cell type integrated circuits, designed with a computer, includes a basic functional circuit, for example, a flip-flop circuit and a signal delay circuit connected to the basic functional circuit. The signal delay circuit is located within the standard cell along with the basic functional circuit. The design allows the timing of the integrated circuit to be adjusted without changing the geometry of the integrated circuit.
