December 15, 2009 -- Incentia Design Systems, Inc. today announced that the Japanese electronic design consortium STARC has validated Incentia’s TimeCraft static timing analysis (STA) and signal integrity (SI) analysis solutions and incorporated them into its STARCAD-CEL V3.5 Timing Signoff Flow.

STARCAD-CELV3.5 Timing Signoff Flow was defined by the consortium to address comprehensive signoff requirements in static timing and signal integrity analysis for 45-nm and below process technologies. TimeCraft met STARC’s requirements in general STA accuracy and functionality, location-based on-chip-variation (LOCV) analysis, cross-talk accuracy, and advanced signal integrity pessimism reduction. Moreover, TimeCraft demonstrated very fast runtime advantages in both single-thread and multi-thread flows that greatly shortened the analysis turnaround time for very big designs.
