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, ...

Recently, many methodologies have been introduced for reducing dynamic power for systems-on-chip (SoCs). These methodologies, however, impose restrictive physical constraints which have schedule ...

Statistical static timing analysis (SSTA) offers a number of advantages over traditional corner based static timing analysis. Most notably, it provides a more realistic estimation of timing relative ...

There’s an old saying that the first 90% of a task takes 90% of the schedule, and the remaining 10% takes the other 90% of the time. In chip development, design-signoff closure has become one such ...
