PrimeTime PX Solution Features
• Enabling Full-Chip Concurrent Timing,
SI, and Power Analysis
The unified analysis environment enables
designers to perform accurate leakage anddynamic power analysis along with timing
and SI analysis. Additionally, the concurrent
analysis in a single tool enables faster results
and improves designer productivity. With an
easy-to-use methodology for timing, signal
integrity, and power analysis, designers can
now better understand the trade-offs and
effects on these three critical design
parameters.
• Vector-Free Dynamic Power AnalysisThe vector-free dynamic power analysis
enables power analysis to be performed
without waiting for switching data from
simulation. By using the PrimeTime solution’s
accurate timing windows, vector-free
analysis allows accurate power analysis
to be done early in the design flow and
to identify blocks with the highest power
consumption earlier.
• PrimeTime Flow and Features
As an extension of PrimeTime, PrimeTime PXis easy to use and adopt. It uses the familiar
PrimeTime flow, with the same commands,
user interface, reports, attributes, and
capabilities.
By combining timing, signal integrity and
power analysis into a single tool and
environment, identical operations are not
repeated. For example, timing and slew
calculations are not repeated. Netlist, para-sitic and constraint file reads
are not repeated, and tool
setup steps are not repeated.
As a result, the PrimeTime
PX solution delivers up to
two times (2x) faster TTR
over separate, standalone
solutions. Furthermore, as
an integral part of the
PrimeTime environment,
power analysis can beperformed using the same
PrimeTime commands,
reports, attributes, and
multiple debugging features.
With PrimeTime PX power analysis, the
Synopsys Galaxy™ Design Platform offers
designers a unified analysis environment
for timing, signal integrity, and power that
is anchored by the PrimeTime solution and
provides designers with the highest pro-
ductivity and a predictable path to silicon
for their most complex designs.
