Abstract

This paper describes a simple algorithm for eliminating possible aggressor-victim net pairs for crosstalk analysis. This algorithm makes use of the observation that timing constraints in sequential circuits apply to crosstalk induced pulses. We show how this algorithm can be applied to a design to prune the candidate list for ATPG to detect crosstalk glitches that are introduced by manufacturing defects.
