Improved approach for noise propagation to identify functional noise violations

This paper targets at reducing the crosstalk noise closure time by filtering the set of false violations. We propose two approaches to reduce the pessimism in the crosstalk noise analysis. The first approach uses the arrival time windows for glitch propagation. The second approach uses the critical window of the sequential cell pins to identify the violations. We have presented some results that show the reduction in number of violation with new approach.
