As technology feature sizes shrink, conductors get smaller, and supply voltages reduce, the corresponding current per scaled feature size increases exponentially. These changes cause power-rail IR (voltage) drop and electromigration (EM) effects that significantly degrade performance and might cause the circuit to malfunction. To eliminate such problems, Astro-Rail™ provides an accurate and design-stage comprehensive sign-off solution for power consumption, IR drop and EM analysis for advanced-technology designs. Astro-Rail is an important component of Synopsys?Milkyway™-based Galaxy™ solution. Using Synopsys?proprietary Dynamic-Macromodeling™ technology, Astro-Rail assists in reducing time to market and ensures reliability. In Astro-Rail, IR drop and EM analysis of million gate designs are completed in minutes. Astro-Rail provides sign-off quality analysis results within five percent tolerance of HSPICE® with Star-RCXT™ parasitic...
