NanoTime Ultra: Transistor-Level Static Timing Analysis
Overview
This course covers the transistor-level static timing tool: NanoTime Ultra. Students learn to use SI-delay, SI-noise analyses and PBSA (path-based slack adjustment) analysis on the design along with other features in NanoTime Ultra.
Supporting labs allow the student to acquire first-hand experience with NanoTime Ultra.
Objectives
After completing this workshop, the student will be able use NanoTime Ultra:
- Analyze a design with PBSA and SI analysis
- Generate and read CCS timing model
- Perform simultaneous switching analysis for conservative min/max delay calculation
Audience Profile
Design, verification, or CAD engineers who understand transistor-level designs and want to verify timing on digital CMOS blocks.
