Abstract :
We have developed a method to deal with the crosstalk effects in timing analysis. The method calculates quantitative delay degradation caused by crosstalk even when there are multiple aggressors for one victim and the signal arrival times dynamically change depending on the input patterns. The method can decrease design delay margins and is especially useful for designing high-performance LSIs
