    Abstract: A static timing analysis method for input/output modes of an integrated circuit design, that includes loading the integrated circuit design described in a hardware description language into a memory. An active zone for static timing analysis is defined, which comprises logic and interconnect between an input/output port and a selected level of sequential logic elements upstream from an input port and downstream from an output port. A description of the active zone is generated using the hardware description language. Then a static timing analysis is performed on the logic of the active zone.

    Abstract: A system and method are provided for pessimism reduction of a timing database provided for optimization of a circuit design. Pessimism is reduced through generation of a hybrid graph-based static timing analysis (GBA) and path-based static timing analysis (PBA STA) database. PBA is selectively performed on the most critical GBA identified timing violations with the goal of reducing erroneous pessimism in operational timing characteristics passed on to the physical implementation corrective optimizer module to thereby reduce unnecessary fixing and transformations upon the circuit design to correspondingly reduce design time, temporary storage space, needed processing power for timing closure and to result in a finished operable and tangible circuit device with reduced area, power requirements, and decreased cost.

    Abstract: A system and method are provided for generating a structurally-aware timing model for operation of a predetermined circuit design. The timing model is generated to have a plurality of timing arcs representing timing characteristics of the circuit design. Additionally, terminal pairs of the circuit design are evaluated to determine characteristic structural weights for selected paths through the circuit design. The structurally-aware timing model may then be incorporated into a top-level hierarchical circuit design for timing analyses and pessimism removal to arrive at realistic timing characteristics. The structural weights are particularly helpful in an AOCV-type pessimism removal post-process.

    Abstract: A static timing analysis system for finding timing violations in a digital circuit design prior to circuit fabrication, and associated methods, use infinite-depth path-based analysis (IPBA) to achieve reduced pessimism as opposed to systems or methods employing only graph-based analysis (GBA), but with greatly reduced compute time requirements, or greater logic path coverage, versus systems or methods employing conventional or exhaustive path-based analysis. IPBA achieves the improved coverage or compute time results by slotting nodes of a circuit design graph into stages, propagating phases stage-by-stage for all paths in parallel, and merging phases wherever possible during the analysis.
