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 ...

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 ...

To achieve higher quality on today's multimillion-gate designs and high-speed ASICs, structured DFT (design-for-test) methodologies such as scan, at-speed test, scan compression, and BIST (built-in ...

Teams must also be able to review and interpret these results much faster to effectively guide engineering decisions within ...
