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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Top 5 static code analysis tools in 2025 to ensure secure, high-quality code. Boost your coding efficiency and fix issues early with these powerful tools! Ilya Pavlov / Unsplash Static code analysis ...
