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 ...

In recent years, formal verification has become the verification methodology of choice for many designers and verification engineers. It's now in the mainstream marketplace, as it's easy to use, ...

The Unified Power Format (UPF) is used to specify the power intent of a design. Once written, the UPF file is applied at every stage of the design cycle — starting with the RTL, then the gate-level, ...

ANDOVER, Mass.-- March 23, 2012--Avery Design Systems Inc., an innovator in functional verification productivity solutions, today announced availability of its revolutionary X verification solution, ...

When we verify a System on Chip (SoC) that embeds microprocessors with several digital peripherals, and possibly analog blocks as well, we want to check all the implemented features and possible ...

Digital design with combinatorial gates like AND, OR, and NOT gates is relatively straightforward. In particular, when you use these gates to form combinatorial logic, the outputs only depend on the ...
