Designers are using every design trick to reduce power in a 3G chip design. But, while cutting power, these tricks can create static timing analysis problems. Here's a look at how designers can close ...

Static Timing Analysis (STA) is a key factor to validate while manufacturing a chip, where each design must go for setup and hold validation. In today’s era, technology nodes are shrinking and ...

Static timing analysis is a technique of computing of cell delay and interconnect delay in design (known as path delay) and comparing it against constrain (timing specific) set in SDC file. This paper ...

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 ...
