Static Timing analysis

Lets brush our Basics on Statistical Timing Analysis

What are the various Timing Paths in a Chip?

1. Path starting from Input Data pad and Ending at Register pin.

2. Path starting from clock-pin of a Register and Ending at Data pin

of a Register(Reg-to-Reg path).

3. Path starting from output of a Register and Ends at output pad of a

chip.

4. Path starting from input data pad and ends at output data pad(pure
combo path).

How to time the output paths?

How to time Input paths?

How to deal with False-paths?
How to deal with Multicycle paths?
How to time the source-synchronous paths?
How many minimum modes i should qualify STA for a chip

1. Scan Shift mode

2. Scan Capture mode

3. MBIST mode

4. Functional modes for Each Interface

5. Boundary scan mode

6. scan-compression mode

How many minimum process lots , should STA be qualified.

1. Fast corner

2. Slow corner

3. Typical corner

How many minimum Timing , Should STA be qualified.

1. normal delay mode(with out applying deration)

2. On-chip variation mode (deration applied)

3. SI mode (Signal integrity cross talk impact on STA)

How many minimum STA runs should we needed to address =

6*3*3.
