General • Timing verifications should be performed at every design stage • Timing verifications at early stages are not accurate as no detailed physical information available ELEN 468 Lecture 22
Register Register Combinational Logic Combinational Logic Combinational Logic Type of Timing Paths • Input -> register • Register -> register • Register -> output • Input -> output Clock ELEN 468 Lecture 22
Register Register Combinational Logic Clock Scheduling LD: logic delay i j ti tj Clock ELEN 468 Lecture 22
Timing Constraints CP • skewij = ti – tj <= CP – LDmax – setupmax (long path) • skewij = ti – tj >= holdmax – LDmin (short path) hold setup tj LDmin ti LDmax ELEN 468 Lecture 22

Interconnect Size Scaling • Wire width scales faster than wire height wires are thinner and taller • Wires are placed closer • Coupling capacitance start to dominate substrate capacitance ELEN 468 Lecture 22
Crosstalk Noise • Crosstalk noise may cause • Glitch and logical error • Extra propagation delay aggressor victim ELEN 468 Lecture 22
