  • Timing analysis with end-of-life pessimism removal
    Patent number: 8977998
    Abstract: A method for using computing equipment to perform timing analysis on an integrated circuit design includes identifying a timing arc of the integrated circuit design. The timing arc may be a clock path or a data path in the integrated circuit design. A probability of the timing arc may be obtained and an aging effect for the timing arc may be calculated. The aging effect of the timing arc is calculated based on the probability. The timing arc may include maximum and minimum delays that are adjusted based at least partly on the calculated aging effect on the timing arc.
