Ever-growing chip size and complexity put pressure on every step and every electronic design automation (EDA) tool in the development flow. More decisions must be made at the architectural stage, ...

Have you ever wondered how a predator succeeds or its prey escapes in the jungle? It’s the breathtaking speed and agility of the predator (say, a leopard) as it chases prey (say, a deer). The VLSI ...

Traditionally static timing analysis (STA) is used to verify if a CMOS digital design can meet the target speed at various process and interconnect corners. In practice, the worst-case slow or ...

Static timing analysis is one of the pilings upon which the whole edifice of modern IC design has been erected. But this vital technique itself rests upon assumptions that may no longer hold water. As ...

Static Timing Analysis (STA) not only acts as a connecting link between backend and frontend design activities, but more importantly helps in bridging the gap between simulation and silicon. STA is ...

Magma's Tekton static timing analyzer is a next-generation tool built to handle the exploding number of STA scenarios required in modern SoC design. Static timing analysis (STA) is used throughout ...

Static timing analysis is a technique of computing of cell delay and interconnect delay in design (known as path delay) and comparing it against constrain (timing specific) set in SDC file. This paper ...

Nanometer design will require new thinking in timing closure. Historically, design teams relied on static timing analysis, which depends on the abstracted behavior of individual gates to perform ...

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced the Tempus ™ Power Integrity Solution, the industry’s first comprehensive static timing/signal integrity ...
