Static Timing Analysis (STA) is a key factor to validate while manufacturing a chip, where each design must go for setup and hold validation. In today’s era, technology nodes are shrinking and ...

With the rapid move to ultradeep submicron designs and feature size processes of 0.13 micron and below, ensuring the integrity of signals as they traverse conductors on a chip is becoming a challenge.

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, ...
