Hello Dear Readers, At Texas Instruments Bangalore, there is a vacancy for SoC RTL Design Engineer role. Are you looking for a career at one of the leading semiconductor companies in the world Texas Instruments (TI) is looking for a SoC RTL Design Engineer to join the team of enthusiastic engineers who develops highly complex mixed signal devices for audio applications with industry leading performance. These audio products are truly mixed-signal devices with highly integrated digital circuits such as a DSP core for digital filters and audio signal processing blocks, hardware processing blocks, analog controllers, various serial interfaces (Audio serial interfaces, I2C, SPI) and other digital blocks like clock-generation, registers map, Interrupts etc. This is a great opportunity to be part of an established team that’s continuing to look for growth opportunities, working with worldwide leading customers and developing cutting edge solutions in the areas of consumer electr...
Dear Readers, Today, we will be talking about STA, which is commonly referred to as static timing analysis. What is the actual meaning of it? What is the reason for doing it? What is the role of STA engineers in the real world? Many of us know that physical design is vast, and placing macros and standard cells interconnected with some metal layers is not enough. It's important to ensure that the input data gets to the output on time without any corruption or overwriting. For that, we need to do Setup and hold checks. What are these setup and hold? What are the reasons behind these timing violations? What is crosstalk, noise, timing arc, and unateness? What are the signoff checks we (STA engineers) do before the chip is going to tape out? All of these concepts we will discuss under this STA topic one by one in detail. Please stay tuned. Continue to read and learn with us. It's going to be fun😇 What is static timing analysis (STA)? Timing analysis is the evaluation of a design...
