Practical Applications of Statistical Static Timing Analysis
Statistical Static Timing Analysis (SSTA) becomes a necessity as a paradigm shift in timing analysis must be considered while the electronic design industry continues to push the limits of Moore's Law. The major reason for this is overly pessimistic timing analysis, which threatens to negate many of the benefits that smaller process geometries offer, when traditional static timing analysi is used.
