Presentation
Silicon Lifecycle Management in Automotive Design
DescriptionThere has never been an effective way to know exactly what the timing margin of the signal is on the Silicon. Many engineers, leverage the Static Timing Analysis (STA) results to predict the timing margin or use characteristic data that vaguely guesses the silicon quality through the process detector Ring Oscillator (RO). However, Slack Monitor can show the Timing Margin on the functional paths and also how it degrades over time, because of aging & other impacts, throughout the silicon lifecycle. It is amazing to be able to measure signal margin on Silicon, which was previously only speculated. This means we can know if there are problems or what is different from what is designed, and what needs to be improved. Through this presentation, we will demonstrate what is Slack Monitor solution, complete flow that was followed for its integration in Automotive design flow and challenges faced. Also, will be describing, how it enhances reliability & safety through Predictive maintenance in Complex SoC Design and how it is used to monitor the health and performance of silicon along with Analytics at every stage of Silicon Lifecycle.
