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 ...

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, ...

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, ...

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 ...

In the intricate realm of VLSI design, the concept of "false paths" plays a strategic role in optimizing the timing analysis process. A false path represents a logical connection within the circuit ...
