Astro-Rail
As technology feature sizes shrink, conductors get smaller,
and supply voltages reduce, the corresponding current per
scaled feature size increases exponentially. These changes
cause power-rail IR (voltage) drop and electromigration
(EM) effects that significantly degrade performance and
might cause the circuit to malfunction. To eliminate such
problems, Astro-Rail™ provides an accurate and designstage
comprehensive sign-off solution for power consumption,
IR drop, and EM analysis for advance-technology designs.
Astro-Rail is an important component of Synopsys’ Milkyway™
-based Galaxy™ solution. Using Synopsys’ proprietary dynamic-
Macromodeling™ technology, Astro-Rail assists in reducing
time to market and ensures reliability. In Astro-Rail, IR drop
and EM analysis of million gate designs are completed in
minutes. Astro-Rail provides sign-off quality analysis results
within five percent tolerance of HSPICE® with Star-RCXT™
parasitic extraction.
Key benefits:
- Provides in-design physical-rail analysis for early feedback
- Delivers sign-off quality accuracy with IR drop and EM
results that are within two percent tolerance of HSPICE
- Delivers highest performance and greatest capacity for
system-on-chip (SoC) designs
- Saves engineering development costs with easy integration
into design flows
- Accepts accurate Star-RCXT extraction results for
sign-off quality
- Provides transistor-level rail analysis capability with
Star-RCXT/HSPICE generated models
