It's About Time

In today's high-speed designs, timing analysis is critical to success. This is the first book to focus exclusively on these crucial timing issues, with special emphasis on timing verification of ASICs. Timing Verification of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) highlights principles and techniques over specific tools. This method makes the materials applicable to a variety of logic design approaches, especially in the field of deep submicron digital design. Topics include:

• Clock definitions, multicycle paths, false paths, and phase-locked loops
• Behavioral and structural RTL coding for timing
• Timing analysis of FPGAs
• Pre and Post layout timing analysis
• Synthesis and Timing constraints
• EDA timing tools

Numerous design examples and Verilog codes offer practical illustrations of all the concepts. Timing Verification of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) is a must for all logic designers concerned with the accuracy of timing and clock issues.
