Accurate Timing Simulation and Analysis

As process nodes continue to shrink and operating voltages decrease, timing behavior becomes increasingly sensitive to process variations, voltage fluctuations, temperature changes, and device aging effects. These factors can significantly impact timing accuracy and reliability, making it difficult for conventional static timing analysis (STA) alone to provide sufficient insight for advanced digital designs.

Empyrean ICExplorer-XTime™ provides a highly accurate timing analysis solution for advanced-node and low-voltage designs. By addressing the limitations of conventional STA in evaluating timing behavior and reliability, it enables comprehensive timing verification through high-precision timing simulation, voltage and temperature sensitivity analysis, process variation analysis, and aging simulation. These capabilities provide designers with critical insights for timing signoff and reliability assessment.
