VLSI Physical Design

When certain paths are not intended to operate according to the default setup/hold behavior assumed by PT,  you shoulf specify those paths a...

Notes, Assume that the flip-flops are defined in the technology library to have a minimum setup time 1.0 time units and a minimum hold ti...

Cell Delay Cell Delay is the amount of delay from input to output of a logic gate in a path. PT calculates the cell delay from delay table...

The total delay of a path is the sum of all cell and net delays in the path. The method od delay calculation depends on if chip layout has...

Path Types: --Clock path ( a path from a clock input port or cell pin, through one or moew buffers or inverters, to the  clock pin or a ...

timing paths In this figure, Each path starts at a data point, passes through some combinational logic, and ends at a data capture poin...

It is said as static because the timing information is obtain through calculation, not by simulation. STA analysis the delay of all paths...
