EDA Tools Tutorial Series: Part 8 - PrimeTime (STA & Power Analysis)

Welcome to Part 8 of our EDA Tools Tutorial Series! In this video, we dive into Synopsys PrimeTime, the industry-standard tool for Static Timing Analysis (STA) and Power Analysis. Introduction to PrimeTime – Overview of its role in ASIC design Static Timing Analysis (STA) – Setup/Hold timing, clock analysis, slack calculations Power Analysis in PrimeTime-PX – Using VCD & SAIF files for accurate power estimation Timing & Power Reports – Key insights from WNS, TNS, IR drop, and more Recommended Prerequisites: Before jumping into PrimeTime, check out our earlier videos for a complete EDA flow: VCS (Simulation & Verification) – RTL verification & debugging Design Compiler (DC) – RTL synthesis & netlist generation IC Compiler (ICC) – Physical design, placement & routing Stay tuned for upcoming videos on signoff, power integrity, and advanced STA techniques.
