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 ...

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 ...

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).

Accurate static timing analysis is one of the most important steps in the development of advanced node semiconductor devices. Performance numbers are included in chip and system specifications from ...

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 ...
