Building a crosstalk library for relative window methods-timing analysis that includes crosstalk delay degradation

Abstract

Our method of calculating crosstalk delay degradation for timing analysis provides the quantitative degradation even when the signal arrival times change dynamically depending on the input patterns and there are multiple aggressors for one victim. We have developed a means of library building that makes it possible to accelerate the calculation speed by using characteristic-point-based representation for the delay degradation table. We have also determined effective parameters for representing typical conditions in the library.
