In a SoC physical design flow, it is very important that there is correlation with respect to timing between various tools. Perfect timing correlation between tools leads to faster timing closure, and ...

Deftly optimizing ASIC critical paths, this tool rides atop existing cell-based flows to improve timing while leaving physical design largely undisturbed. Timing closure for ASIC design has always ...

If you are a budding timing-analysis engineer or even a veteran, understanding trip points, which all major timing-analysis tools incorporate, is essential. Engineers use trip points in ...

Timing closure of a semiconductor chip is the primary concern for any physical design engineer. Interface timing of a block is as critical as the internal timing. In this article, we will address the ...

Clock path has always been one of the most critical as well as complex components of timing analysis in synchronous design. With increasing complexities in both functionality as well as test ...
