Constraining Designs For Synthesis And Timing Analysis

Download or read book Constraining Designs for Synthesis and Timing Analysis written by Sridhar Gangadharan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book serves as a hands-on guide to timing constraints in integrated circuit design. Readers will learn to maximize performance of their IC designs, by specifying timing requirements correctly. Coverage includes key aspects of the design flow impacted by timing constraints, including synthesis, static timing analysis and placement and routing. Concepts needed for specifying timing requirements are explained in detail and then applied to specific stages in the design flow, all within the context of Synopsys Design Constraints (SDC), the industry-leading format for specifying constraints.
