vConsulting

What is vConsulting?

When schedules are tight and risk is high, the fastest way to resolve a clock problem is often to bring in the team that works with these challenges every day.

ClockEdge vConsulting is a collaborative engagement where our engineers work directly with your team on your designs, using the Veridian suite and vHelm. We can join you on site or operate in a secure remote environment to analyze your clock networks, uncover hidden electrical risks, and recommend practical, implementable fixes.

You gain the benefit of Silicon True Accuracy, Real World Speed, and hands-on expertise across timing, power, jitter, and aging challenges in advanced node designs.

When to engage vConsulting

Engage vConsulting when:

  • You are seeing unexplained timing or clock failures at advanced nodes
  • Jitter is eroding margin and existing methodologies cannot explain the root cause
  • Guardbands have grown so large that performance or power targets are at risk
  • A high-value project is approaching tapeout and you need an independent, SPICE-accurate assessment of clock health
  • Prior silicon has exposed duty-cycle, rail-to-rail, or aging-related issues you cannot afford to repeat

vConsulting is for projects where clock failures are unacceptable, margins are tight, schedules are fixed, and first-silicon clock closure is critical.

How vConsulting works

Focused Scoping

We start by aligning on your objectives, target clock domains, and the specific risks you need to resolve. Together we define scope, success criteria, and any IT or security requirements.

Secure deployment in your environment

Veridian and vHelm are deployed within your environment using your netlists, parasitics, and libraries. Your design data stays under your control at all times.

    Full-Clock analysis with Veridian

    Our engineers run SPICE-accurate analysis across the selected clock networks to build a silicon-accurate view from PLL to flops. This exposes timing, power, jitter, and aging hotspots that conventional flows miss.

    Real-Time Optimization with vHelm

    Working side by side with your team, we use vHelm to run what-if scenarios and Virtual ECOs that immediately expose how every change impacts timing, power, jitter, and aging. Design tradeoffs become visible instantly, allowing teams to fix the right problems and avoid costly regressions.

    Actionable Findings and Results

    At the end of the engagement, you receive a concise set of outcomes, including prioritized issues, recommended ECOs with quantified impact, and clear guidance on how to integrate Veridian and vHelm into your ongoing flow.

    Expert Support for Critical Clock Challenges

    vConsulting is designed for advanced-node projects where clock behavior directly impacts performance, yield, and power.

    Typical engagements include:

    • SoC teams working at 5nm, 3nm, 2nm, and beyond
    • Performance-critical CPU, GPU, mobile, AI, networking, and automotive designs
    • Teams evaluating Veridian and vHelm on a live design with expert support

    Whether you already license Veridian or are engaging with ClockEdge for the first time, vConsulting provides a fast, practical way to see real impact on a real design.

    If your project is carrying clock risk into late stages, or you need a deeper, physics-accurate view of margin, power, jitter, or aging before tapeout, we can help.
