SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — In theory, static timing analysis and formal verification should render gate-level simulation unnecessary. But in reality, it's unavoidable, according to a number of engineers who ...

The increase in design sizes and the complexity of timing checks at 40nm technology nodes and below is responsible for longer run times, high memory requirements, and the need for a growing set of ...

No matter how advanced Static Timing Analysis (STA) tools become, there are still a lot of advantages to running GLS, since it has the capability of uncovering a lot of hidden design issues which are ...

Many designers continue to perform timing simulation for gate-level designs. Through an add-on module for its Siloti Visibility Enhancement software, Novas Software now brings timing-accurate ...
