Proven single pass design methodology for high reliable VDSM

Abstract

This paper addresses the Avant! silicon proven single pass design methodology for the recent very deep submicron (VDSM) era. Avant!'s single pass process is a predictable and controllable design process with closure in mind, not only for timing but also for signal/power integrity. By applying the right technology to the root cause of a design problem, this process can generate an optimal result in the shortest time.
