How vHelm Delivers an Optimized Clock Network

Clock networks are crucial in chip design, and ClockEdge's Veridian platform offers tools for optimizing timing, power, aging, and jitter. vHelm, a part of this platform, enables early clock optimization with SPICE-accurate visibility and virtual ECO loops. By providing sign-off grade accuracy early on, vHelm allows for rapid iteration and a unified flow for timing visualization, jitter margins, power consumption, rail-to-rail behavior, and aging impact. Early optimization leads to fewer surprises, tighter PPA, higher reliability, and improved schedule predictability. vHelm aims to reshape architecture and buffering strategy early in the design process for optimal clock networks.
