Static Timing Analysis (STA) not only acts as a connecting link between backend and frontend design activities, but more importantly helps in bridging the gap between simulation and silicon. STA is ...

Clocking issues are one of the most common reasons for costly design re-spins. This has been the driving factor in the ever-increasing demand for Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) analysis tools. Today, the ...

Rail analysis for an ASIC system on chip (SoC) falls into two broad categories, static and dynamic (also known as transient). Static analysis is driven by power consumption for the average situation, ...

Static code analysis offers extensive insights into code that can help you improve code quality and security, the speed of development, and even team collaboration and planning. Here’s everything you ...

How to use statistical tools for component tolerance analysis. A look at methods such as Monte Carlo and Gaussian distribution. Simulating a dc-dc converter in LTspice to model closed-loop voltage ...

But what happens when the part operates over and over, day after day? To predict component failure in such cases requires what's called fatigue or durability analysis. Computer simulations determine ...
