    摘要: Delay analysis performed on a circuit having multiple parallel partial circuits (paths) involves recursively integrating two paths of the circuit using an all-element delay distribution that indicates delay based on performance of all circuit elements in a path and a correlation delay distribution that indicates delay based on correlation between circuit elements in the path. An all-element delay distribution is calculated for the integrated path using the all-element delay distributions of the two paths to be integrated. The all-element delay distributions and the correlation delay distributions of two paths to be integrated are used to calculate a total delay distribution for the integrated path. The total delay distribution is used with the all-element delay distribution for the integrated path to calculate a correlation delay distribution for the integrated path. Through recursive calculation, a delay distribution of the circuit is estimated.

    摘要: A delay analyzing apparatus receives a result of timing analysis of a target circuit, and detects, from paths in the target circuit, critical paths based on the result of the timing analysis with a detecting unit. A first calculating unit calculates an average delay distribution of the paths other than the critical paths based on an average delay value of each of the critical paths. A second calculating unit calculates a probability density distribution of the critical paths, and a third calculating unit calculates a probability density distribution of all of the paths based on the average delay distribution. A fourth calculating unit calculates difference between a statistical delay value of the critical paths and a statistical delay value of all of the paths based on the probability density distribution of the critical paths and the probability density distribution of all of the paths.

    摘要: Within-die delay distributions and die-to-die delay distributions of two arbitrary paths in an analysis target circuit are extracted from a delay distribution library, and an effect index indicative of a relative error of an overall path delay distribution of one path and an overall path delay distribution when the two paths are integrated as one path is calculated based on the within-die delay distributions and the die-to-die delay distributions of the two paths. When the effect index is determined to be equal to or above a threshold, the overall path delay distribution of the two paths integrated as one path is calculated. Hence, a path that affects an analysis result alone is selected to execute a statistical Max operation, thereby increasing a speed of delay analysis processing.
