With process geometries reaching 45-nanometers (nm) and below, there are many nanometer effects that can impact timing. Accurate analysis of these effects is required to identify potential timing issues. Synopsys’ NanoTime tool is the transistor-level static timing analysis (STA) solution that addresses the challenges in signal integrity (SI) analysis associated with custom designs. In addition, over traditional STA, Multi-Input Switching (MIS) will play a role in the speedup or slowdown of paths.
