As technology nodes shrink down, the supply voltages of CMOS circuits are scaled down too, and because of that, standby leakage current increases, becoming significant. Until recent years, area and ...

Statistical static timing analysis (SSTA) offers a number of advantages over traditional corner based static timing analysis. Most notably, it provides a more realistic estimation of timing relative ...

With the increasing size and complexity of FPGA devices, there is a need for more efficient verification methods. Timing simulation can be the most revealing verification method; however, it is often ...

Nearly all designs at advanced process nodes need some sort of power-saving strategy. As more designs employ advanced low-power techniques, design teams are discovering huge implementation hurdles ...

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 ...
