Tempus Signoff Timing Analysis and Closure with Stylus Common UI

Length: 2 days (16 Hours)

Digital Badge Available

Course Description

This course is a detailed exploration of the timing and signal integrity analysis capabilities of the Tempus^™ Timing Signoff Solution with Stylus Common UI. In this course, you analyze a design for static timing and signal integrity issues that are inherent in advanced process nodes with feature sizes 90nm and below. You also run signoff timing analysis to analyze timing issues on large designs and fix timing issues using the Innovus^™ Implementation System with Stylus CUI.

Learning Objectives

After completing this course, you will be able to:

• Explore the features of the Tempus Stylus Common User Interface
• Identify timing analysis data requirements and import Single Corner designs and Multi-Mode Multi-Corner (MMMC) designs
• Identify and apply timing debug techniques using the Global Timing Debug interface
• Analyze a design for timing combined with signal integrity (SI)
• Compare parallel processing techniques such as Concurrent MMMC, Distributed MMMC and Distributed STA
• Run ECO analysis and timing closure flow between the Stylus Innovus Implementation and the Stylus Tempus Signoff tools
