Static Timing Analysis

At eSilicon, Static Timing Analysis (STA) is a core part of our VLSI services, ensuring your designs meet stringent timing constraints and deliver optimal performance. We provide precise and reliable timing verification that ensures your chip functions correctly at high speeds and within power requirements, minimizing the risk of design failures.

What is Static Timing Analysis?

Static Timing Analysis (STA) is a method used to verify the timing performance of a digital circuit without requiring simulation of the entire design. STA checks for timing violations such as setup and hold violations, propagation delays, and race conditions, ensuring that data signals are properly synchronized across the chip. Unlike dynamic simulation, STA is fast and efficient, providing a comprehensive analysis of the design’s timing behavior.

Our STA Expertise

At eSilicon, our values guide everything we do:

  • 1. Timing Path Analysis We analyze every critical timing path in your design, including setup, hold, and recovery checks, to ensure that data propagates correctly through all registers, flip-flops, and combinational logic.
  • 2. Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) Analysis We conduct CDC analysis to identify timing issues in multi-clock designs, ensuring reliable signal crossing between domains.
  • 3. Setup and Hold Time Checks Our STA service ensures flip-flop setup and hold times are met, preventing data corruption and ensuring reliable operation.
  • 4. Path Delay Optimization We optimize critical timing paths to minimize delay, ensuring reliable performance at targeted clock speeds and frequencies.
  • 5. Analysis of Corner Cases Our STA accounts for process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations, ensuring reliable design functionality under different operating conditions.
  • 6. Clock Skew Analysis We analyze and manage clock skew to ensure synchronization and minimize timing issues across the chip.
  • 7. Multi-Corner, Multi-Mode (MCMM) Analysis We perform MCMM analysis to account for environmental, process, and operational variations, ensuring robust timing across all scenarios.
  • 8. Timing Sign-Off Our STA service includes a final timing sign-off, validating and adjusting timing to ensure the design meets closure for tape-out.
