As the electronic design industry continues to push the limits of Moore's Law, a paradigm shift in timing analysis must be considered. The major reason for this is overly pessimistic timing analysis, ...

San Jose, Calif. — Statistical static-timing analysis stood out at the International Conference on Computer Aided Design, as experts warned that the days of timing analysis based on nominal delay ...

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 ...

Nanometer design will require new thinking in timing closure. Historically, design teams relied on static timing analysis, which depends on the abstracted behavior of individual gates to perform ...

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 ...
