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 ...

This paper discusses an approach to timing closure to eliminate non-determinism in an asynchronous interface while performing AC characterization on ATE (automatic test equipment). By closing the ...

No matter how advanced Static Timing Analysis (STA) tools become, there are still a lot of advantages to running GLS, since it has the capability of uncovering a lot of hidden design issues which are ...

Contemporary AI, high-performance computing (HPC), mobile, and automotive designs continue to grow in size and complexity, putting a strain on the high-capacity compute required for static timing ...
