Understanding Standard Cell Characterization

std-cell

Cell characterization is a process of analyzing a circuit using static and dynamic methods to generate models suitable for chip implementation flows.
 
Why is cell characterization needed?
 
No digital chip is possible without cell models. These cell models are produced by cell characterization using commercial softwares like guna.

Is Charge Sharing Silently Killing your ASIC Design?

Sharing is caring, unless it is as vital as required charge to function your ASIC design. As we move down from 20nm and below on designs with low voltages, charge sharing is quickly becoming mission critical problem in high performance custom ASIC designs using dynamic logic. Moderate charge sharing may slow down your circuits,
