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 ...

The chip industry traditionally has relied on margins to help them mitigate timing problems, but an increasing array of factors are now influencing timing. Can static timing analysis evolve to address ...

What to do, what to do? Chip complexity continues to grow and design schedules are more aggressive, yet design teams are staying the same size or even being scaled back. Something has to give. A key ...

Handling timing exception paths in ATPG tools while creating at-speed patterns has always been a tough and tricky task. It is well understood that at-speed testing is a requirement for modern ...
