As the complexity of designs has scaled, the need for complete and accurate timing constraints (defined typically as Synopsys Design Constraints or SDC) has become extremely critical. High quality ...

In FPGA design, where timing is everything, there are tips and tricks to help designers set up clocks, correctly set timing constraints and then tune parameters of the FPGA, write Angela Sutton and ...

Low-Power Engineering sat down to discuss timing constraints with ARM Fellow David Flynn; Robert Hoogenstryd, director of marketing for design analysis and signoff at Synopsys; Michael Carrell, ...

Handling timing exception paths in ATPG tools while creating at-speed patterns has always been a tough and tricky task. It is well understood that at-speed testing is a requirement for modern ...

As today’s designs become more complex, so too do their constraints. Design functionality typically gets a lot of attention – through code review, functional verification, etc. However, the ...
