AOCV




  • In lower nodes with increasing process, voltage, and temperature variations across the same die, arriving at a single Global derate number is difficult.
  • OCV analysis results in reduced design performance, and longer timing closure cycles
  • AOCV on the other hand  uses intelligent techniques for specific derating instead of a single global derate value
  • AOCV provides a solution for longer timing closure, reduced design performance that caused with OCV analysis.
  • In AOCV analysis variable values are used for derating timing paths
  • Derate values are functions of Logic depth and/or net and cell location





Using silicon data from test-chips Advanced OCV computes the length of the diagonal of the bounding box. Based on the length calculated appropriate derate value is picked from the AOCV table.
