PROVIDING A SOLID FOUNDATION

Foundry rule decks

Understanding the foundry view of reliability on your design is necessary for a comprehensive reliability verification strategy.

Foundry qualified and supported rule decks are essential to establishing this reliability baseline, not only to guide improvements, but also to establish best practices with internal and 3rd party IP through full-chip sign-off.

PERC's range of complex verification abilities

ARE YOU PROTECTED?

Electrostatic discharge solutions

When verifying the robustness of your electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection strategy in your design, it is essential to ensure sufficiently-sized devices and interconnect are where they need to be.

Understanding the performance of these critical design elements requires a combination of topology, layout and interconnect robustness capabilities in a context-aware environment.

FIND YOUR WAY. WHERE TO START?

Context-aware verification

Target verification rules with precision by leveraging rule deck defined circuit structures in the schematic or layout. Being able to identify the absence of required circuit elements, such as protection devices or level-shifters, is of equal importance.
