Statistical Static Timing Analysis Technology 2007-10-01 Fujitsu

With CMOS technology scaling down to the nanometer realm, process variations have been increased. In particular, the increase of delay variations has seriously affected the design periods and timing yields. To estimate more accurately these delay variations, Statistical Static Timing Analysis (SSTA), which considers delay variations statistically, has been proposed. SSTA is expected to shorten the design Turnaround Time (TAT) and predict the timing yields. Research on practical applications of SSTA has already been conducted at Fujitsu Laboratories. The paper has developed SSTA tools for use in designs for processors and Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) in cooperation with Fujitsu and Fujitsu VLSI. This paper describes the delay variations and basic SSTA techniques and introduces SSTA applications to Fujitsu's processor and ASIC design flows.

How Siemens Uses Mobile Embedded Intel Processors to Help Customers Avoid Downtime 2005-07-01 Intel

Downtime equals catastrophe in a highly automated factory environment; so Siemens' customers demand high availability on the system platform. Operating around the clock, automated systems must deliver very high performance, even when subjected to higher ambient temperature, shock/vibration, dirt/dust, and space constraints - common in industrial settings. Siemens' latest box and panel PCs meet all of these demands via the high performance/low-power features of the embedded Intel Pentium M processor 760 at 2GHz and the Intel 915GM chipset. Designed to support automation tasks that process high volumes of data, the SIMATIC Box PC 627 and SIMATIC Panel PC 677 are optimized for stability and reliability in harsh industrial settings.
