Let's stare this fact in the eye: static timing analysis is grinding to the limits of its effectiveness. In its place, a hybrid timing analysis approach, which combines the efficiency of static ...

Timing is increasingly dependent on vectors. Can static techniques continue to deliver the necessary results? Maybe.

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 ...

Ever-growing chip size and complexity put pressure on every step and every electronic design automation (EDA) tool in the development flow. More decisions must be made at the architectural stage, ...
