Clock Matters: What Infinisim Is Showcasing at DAC 2025
Optimize by Finding and Fixing Errors Across the Entire Clock Domain
The clock domain is the heartbeat of every high-performance SoC—and at DAC 2025, Infinisim is redefining how design teams approach clock optimization with speed, precision, and confidence.
If you’re attending the show, be sure to stop by booth 2426 to explore how they are helping leading chipmakers push PPA limits without compromising reliability. Here’s what they will be showcasing:
Clock ECO with Immediate Impact Analysis
Tired of black-box timing adjustments and blind-side clock edits? Infinisim’s ECO solution puts real-time control in your hands. Engineers can now apply targeted changes to their design and immediately assess timing, aging, and power impact across the entire clock domain. No more wait cycles. No more guesswork. Just fast, SPICE-accurate answers.
Whether you’re implementing last-minute fixes or refining clock balance at signoff, Infinisim’s platform will help you move with agility—without risking margin.
High-Impact Power Optimization
Clock trees account for a significant share of total dynamic power. Infinisim’s advanced optimization engine finds and eliminates hidden inefficiencies by simulating realistic switching activity and analyzing the resulting power distribution.
Using their tools, customers have seen measurable power reductions without degrading performance – especially valuable in designs with tight thermal budgets or aggressive energy targets.
Jitter Risk Detection—Before It’s Too Late
Most signoff flows catch jitter too late. By then, it’s costly—or impossible—to fix. Infinisim’s platform enables early detection of jitter-inducing conditions, whether due to clock path asymmetry, noise coupling, or aging effects. With high-fidelity waveform-level analysis, Infinisim helps design teams catch hidden failures before they make it to tape-out.
Designed for the Entire Clock Domain
Infinisim solutions don’t just optimize individual paths – they analyze and optimize timing behavior across the entire clock domain, including interconnects and complex mesh structures. That means no surprises when your design hits silicon.
About Infinisim
Infinisim is the definitive leader in SoC clock verification. Our technology powers the most advanced semiconductor designs in the world, enabling customers to achieve breakthrough clock performance at the most challenging process nodes—where timing margins are razor-thin and nanometer effects can no longer be ignored.
With SPICE-accurate analysis of timing, aging, and jitter, Infinisim enables designers to detect clock-related failures early, optimize performance, and—most importantly—tighten design margins without excessive guard banding. This allows for significant improvements in power, performance, and area (PPA), all while reducing the risk of silicon re-spins.
Trusted by top semiconductor companies and foundries, Infinisim helps accelerate design schedules, improve product yield and quality, and deliver robust, high-performance SoCs with confidence before tape-out.
