Due to false paths and multi-cycle paths in a circuit, using only topological delay to determine the clock period could be too conservative. In this paper, we address the timing a...
A delay abstraction of a combinational module is a compact representation of the delay information of the module, which carries effective pin-to-pin delay for each primary-input/pr...
Noise affects circuit operation by increasing gate delays and causing latches to capture incorrect values. Noise analysis techniques can detect some of such noise faults, but accu...

of a direct implementation of this criterion. This paper presents the first critical path finding tool based on the exact criterion. It offers therefore better results in compariso...
—Embedded computer systems are characterized by the presence of a processor running application-specific dedicated software. A large number of these systems must satisfy real-ti...
