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 ...

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 ...

At its introduction almost three years ago, Zenasis Technologies' ZenTime was marketed as a standard cell-optimization tool largely for integrated device manufacturers (IDMs). But Zenasis has ...
