2004 IEEE International Conference on Computer Design (ICCD'04) XTalkDelay: A Crosstalk-Aware Timing Analysis Tool for Chip-Level Designs San Jose, CA October 11-October 13 ISBN: 0-7695-2231-9
This paper describes XTalkDelay, an industrial-strength methodology and tool for measuring the impact of crosstalk on delays of paths in a design. The main cornerstone of XTalkDelay methodology, vis-a-vis other approaches, is its high delay computation accuracy. It deliberately avoids the use of approximate models for cells and nets and interconnect reductions. XTalkDelay employs a path-based approach; uses detailed and accurate distributed RC parasitics for critical nets and their aggressors; uses BSIM3-accurate gate models; and invokes HSPICE for delay computation using only the minimum required set of input patterns. XTalkDelay has been successfully applied on two industrial designs.
