CadenceTECHTALK: Advanced Aging Robustness

Learn how teams can expedite their design implementation, optimization, and closure using the advanced aging analysis technology within the Tempus Timing Solution and Cadence Innovus Implementation System.

Cadence solutions offer sophisticated modeling accuracy to combat device degradation and recovery caused by variations in supply voltage, temperature, and logic conditions across the chip. This approach supports non-uniform aging stress conditions in time and across instances without the need to re-characterize cell libraries for each new stress condition. Validated to be accurate within +/-2% of SPICE, the solution delivers a substantial PPA advantage compared to other timing derate based approaches in the industry.

This webinar presents the following:

  • Importance of advanced aging-aware design and analysis
  • Overview of Cadence advanced aging technology
  • Achievement of SPICE accuracy in aging-aware static timing analysis
  • Improved PPA due to accurate aging-aware analysis
