The key values of Tweaker-T1 Timing ECO Family are:
1. It cleans more than 95% of timing violations in one ECO.
2. It saves 15%~40% leakage power by removing the over-design induced by the previous optimization and synthesis works.
Tweaker-T1 perfectly fits the needs of today's ARM based hand-held products by speeding up the time to market and enhancing the battery hours. For either ARM based design implementation or ARM-core hardening, Tweaker-T1 helps designers in addressing the MMMC ( multi-mode, multi-corner ) bus interface timing, setup/hold conflicting, and leakage power issues.
The unique "ECO specific" architecture and algorithm enable Tweaker-T1 to handle more than 40 sign-off scenarios concurrently, while only focus on the most critical portion of the design.
Tweaker-T1 Family consists of three products.
Tweaker-T1:
T1 is an MMMC ( Multi-mode, multi-corner ) timing eco solution performs setup fix / hold fix / max. transition fix / max. capacitance fix in one run.
Tweaker-P1:
P1 is developed for power eco. It applies vt-swapping and sizing at eco phase for minimizing leakage power. Its unique architect and flow enables nearly exhaustive swapping.
Tweaker-C1:
It applies useful skew through sizing, buffer insertion, and dummy load hook-up. It adopts "slack balance" technique over the whole clock network, instead of the "n-stage skew tuning".
