Synopsys has combined its PrimeTime static timing analysis tool with a crosstalk analysis engine. The company decided to combine the two to reduce the time it takes to get information about timing ...

Nanometer design will require new thinking in timing closure. Historically, design teams relied on static timing analysis, which depends on the abstracted behavior of individual gates to perform ...

Deftly optimizing ASIC critical paths, this tool rides atop existing cell-based flows to improve timing while leaving physical design largely undisturbed. Timing closure for ASIC design has always ...

The chip industry traditionally has relied on margins to help them mitigate timing problems, but an increasing array of factors are now influencing timing. Can static timing analysis evolve to address ...

The times they are a-changin’. With apologies to Mr. Dylan, the ignition timing of your 4x4s engine is pretty well set. Ignition timing is what is used to make sure that the distributor fires the ...

The problem is as old as the internal combustion engine itself: Static valve timing is always a compromise. Figures that produce good power at lower engine speeds aren't ideal for higher-rpm operation ...

About five years ago if you listened to the marketing messages in the EDA industry, you would have thought it would be impossible to produce chips without statistical static timing analysis (SSTA).

Ducati has announced it will introduce new engine technology that will boost power and torque, improve fuel economy, reduce emissions and won’t affect servicing intervals. Ducati Testastretta engine ...
