Static Timing Analysis & Sign-off
Guaranteeing silicon performance through rigorous timing validation. We validate every path in your design against timing constraints, ensuring correct operation across all Process, Voltage, and Temperature (PVT) corners before tape-out.
Timing Constraints & Methodology
Expertise in SDC development, Multi-Mode Multi-Corner (MMMC) analysis, clock gating checks, and managing false/multicycle paths for complex high-frequency designs.
Signal Integrity & Closure
Deep analysis of Crosstalk delay and noise, On-Chip Variation (OCV/AOCV/POCV), and automated ECO generation to fix Setup, Hold, and Transition violations rapidly.
The Path to Timing Closure
Our STA flow ensures convergence by iteratively refining constraints and fixing violations. We address physical effects early to prevent late-stage surprises and ensure your chip meets its frequency targets.
STEP ONE
SDC Validation & Setup
STEP TWO
ECO & Violation Fixing
STEP THREE
Sign-off Verification
We begin by sanitizing the SDC constraints and setting up the environment for accurate MMMC analysis. Iterative runs identify critical Setup and Hold violations.
Finally, we perform Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) to close timing, followed by rigorous Signal Integrity (SI) and Power analysis for final tape-out sign-off.
