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 ...

Let's stare this fact in the eye: static timing analysis is grinding to the limits of its effectiveness. In its place, a hybrid timing analysis approach, which combines the efficiency of static ...

To achieve higher quality on today's multimillion-gate designs and high-speed ASICs, structured DFT (design-for-test) methodologies such as scan, at-speed test, scan compression, and BIST (built-in ...

Reset architectures are notoriously complex and difficult to verify. Today’s SoCs contain highly complex reset distributions and synchronization circuitry. Often, reset trees can be larger than clock ...

Over the years, medical devices have become increasingly dependent on software. They have evolved from the use of a metronome circuit for early cardiac pacemakers to functions that include ...

In the modern manufacturing landscape, the quest for consistent and reproducible mechanical properties in injection molded parts is more critical than ever. Achieving this level of quality depends ...
