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 ...

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 ...

Handling timing exception paths in ATPG tools while creating at-speed patterns has always been a tough and tricky task. It is well understood that at-speed testing is a requirement for modern ...
