Let's stare this fact in the eye: static timing analysis is grinding to the limits of its effectiveness. In its place, a hybrid timing analysis approach, which combines the efficiency of static ...

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 ...

San Mateo, Calif. – InTime Software Inc. will unveil a register-transfer-level timing tool this week intended to help IC designers develop timing-accurate RTL code before they move to synthesis, ...

Static timing analysis is the process of timing verification that verifies a design for setup time violation and hold time violation. Setup time violation occurs when a path takes longer than the ...

Static timing analysis (STA) is used throughout chip design. It’s employed for the creation of basic constraints in synthesis, for block- and chip-level timing closure in physical implementation, and ...

About five years ago if you listened to the marketing messages in the EDA industry, you would have thought it would be impossible to produce chips without statistical static timing analysis (SSTA).

In a perfect world, fabrication of silicon ICs would be a perfectly predictable process. Not only would every chip be absolutely identical, but there would be no variations from wafer to wafer, or lot ...

Full 3D designs involving logic-on-logic are still in the tire-kicking stage, but gaps in the tooling already are showing up. This is especially evident with static timing analysis (STA), which is ...

As the electronic design industry continues to push the limits of Moore's Law, a paradigm shift in timing analysis must be considered. The major reason for this is overly pessimistic timing analysis, ...

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 ...
