As semiconductor designs move to advanced process nodes, timing closure becomes significantly more challenging. At 7nm, traditional optimization techniques often fall short due to increased process ...

Signoff of a system on chip (SoC) or IP design has multiple aspects, but often timing closure is the most challenging. Early use of a static timing analysis (STA) tool is clearly important, and such a ...

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 ...

The power issues encountered by today's mobile phone manufacturers is well documented. With cameras, web browsers, and other processing-intensive tasks entering next-generation phones, designers try ...
