Santa Cruz, Calif. – Claiming the first hybrid approach to transistor-level timing and crosstalk analysis, Nassda Corp. this week will introduce Hanex, a product that combines static and dynamic ...

SAN MATEO, Calif. — 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Power consumption is a primary design consideration for today's systems-on-a-chip (SoCs). Consequently, pervasive powerreduction techniques are now an established part of the design process from ...

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 ...
