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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Magma's Tekton static timing analyzer is a next-generation tool built to handle the exploding number of STA scenarios required in modern SoC design. Static timing analysis (STA) is used throughout ...

Full 3D designs involving logic-on-logic are still in the tire-kicking stage, but gaps in the tooling already are showing up. This is especially evident with static timing analysis (STA), which is ...

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 ...

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).

Synopsys is claiming a 5-10x speed-up and 5-10x capacity increase for static timing analysis (STA), with no loss of accuracy. The enhancement comes from a tool called HyperScale within the 2010.06 ...

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 ...
