Static Timing Analysis (STA) not only acts as a connecting link between backend and frontend design activities, but more importantly helps in bridging the gap between simulation and silicon. STA is ...

As the complexity of designs has scaled, the need for complete and accurate timing constraints (defined typically as Synopsys Design Constraints or SDC) has become extremely critical. High quality ...

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, ...

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 ...

The Tekron TTM 01-G GNSS clock was tested in a simulated mobile application at 300 km/h, and found to maintain sub-100 nanosecond timing accuracy, and position accuracy within 10 meters. By default, ...

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 ...

The basic considerations when choosing a timing solution for today’s technologies. The difference between a crystal oscillator and an integrated clock device. Use cases and performance factors for ...
