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, ...

Recently, many methodologies have been introduced for reducing dynamic power for systems-on-chip (SoCs). These methodologies, however, impose restrictive physical constraints which have schedule ...

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 ...

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 ...

There’s an old saying that the first 90% of a task takes 90% of the schedule, and the remaining 10% takes the other 90% of the time. In chip development, design-signoff closure has become one such ...

In the intricate realm of VLSI design, the concept of "false paths" plays a strategic role in optimizing the timing analysis process. A false path represents a logical connection within the circuit ...

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 11, 2016 – Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced its customers have completed more than 200 tapeouts using the Tempus™ Timing Signoff Solution. Since its ...
