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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Of course, the original quote is from the 1948 movie, The Treasure of Sierra Madre, and has been famously parodied over the years, memorably in the comedy classic Blazing Saddles. But we are not here ...

Mathworks's Simulink Design Verifier 2.0 (Fig. 1) incorporates static code analysis technology that is obtained when it acquired Polyspace Technologies. The Polyspace code verifiers detect and prove ...

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 ...
