ASIC library qualification: criteria and procedure

DOI

Description

Library accuracy is a vital concern for library builders and library users. As complexity of ASICs increases, more accurate logic simulation is required to get a functional silicon chip. Usually ASIC vendors provide many libraries on third party simulators, as well as Golden Simulator. Assuming a master library for the Golden Simulator is well correlated with silicon performance, libraries on other third vendor simulators have to be qualified with the master library as a reference. This paper focuses on qualities of third party simulator libraries derived from the master library. Quality requirements and a quality measure, as well as a qualification procedure are discussed. >
