Tools for Static Timing Analysis

[kr_vinayak]

Hi all,

Which tools can be used for Static Timing Analysis in the circuit?

 

[tarkyss]

prime time

 

[kr_vinayak]

prime time

Who is the vendor of this tool?

 

[rogger123]

Synopsys primetime
cadence celtic
mentor SST velocity

 

[coolrak]

there is one more good tools called Timecraft from Incentia. It is second best to PT

 

[semi_jl]

Synopsys's primetime may be the best STA analysis tool

 

[johnz]

both Prime time and Celtic have Static Timing Analysis engine.
For now, Prime time is more popular.
But below 0.13 um, analysis of cross-talk is very important, Celtic is good at that.

primetime is a logic level ,not a circuit level timing analysis tool?

 

[joe2moon]

Almost if not all STA tools are doing "gate-level" static timing analysis instead of "transistor-level".

Transistor-level usually involves "simulation". (SPICE-like)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Synopsys' PrimeTime/PrimeTime-SI
STA including delay calculator
PrimeTime-SI is doing crosstalk analysis (CCSM)

2) Cadence's CTE(common timing engine)
SignalStorm is its delay calculator. (ECSM)
Celtic is for noise analysis. (.cdb)

3) Incentia's TimeCraft
DO NOT HAVE ITS OWN delay calculator.

Hey dude,

do not restart old threads, check the date on the thread before posting..you have reopened a thread which is 5 years old...

Why not try Tekton from Magma. Way faster than PT

Yes, found tekton from MAGMA is much faster than Primetime...PT is done ruling STA world.

Exactly..Its time for the change..lets c who wins in the new battle
