In an SOC-design flow, it isvery important to apply correct and appropriate timing constraints to thedesign. Incorrect timing constraints can lead to on-chip failures. Appropriateand exhaustive timing ...

Designing with synchronous clocks avoids metastability issues on clock domain crossings, but it presents its own challenges when multi-cycle and false paths are involved. A multi-cycle path (MCP) ...

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 ...

One of the biggest challenges of system-on-chip (SOC) designs is that different blocks operate on independent clocks. Integrating these blocks via the processor bus, memory ports, peripheral busses, ...
