  • Integrated circuit analysis method and program product
    Patent number: 7370308
    Abstract: A method for analyzing integrated circuits (IC's) has steps of dividing the circuit into a plurality of individual blocks that are linked together. Each block is comprised of a plurality of latches and paths connecting the latches. The blocks are compressed by removing all detail not required for performing global transparency timing modeling.
    Type: Grant
