Floor Planning of 16 bit Counter Design for Health Care Applications Using 180nm Technology in Cadence Tool

The privacy of patients can be influenced by counters used in health care systems. By properly placing the counters in queue far from the staff-patient communication cabin the privacy of individual health information can be protected from getting disclosed to other patients. The number of counters required in software defined radio to collect global information is very high. The implementation of many counters using ASIC is a challenging task in terms of accuracy, control flexibility and memory consumption. In this paper, we have designed 16 bit counter using cadence tool in 180nm technology. Floor planning for the counter is done and simulated by number of iterations to decrease the glitch violations to zero. By this method the counter gets offload management and updates to any software thereby executes efficiently in hardware practically.
