Stages of STA

Input and Output files in STA tool SDF (Standard Delay Format) SDF file is used for Fetching and Analyzing the timing data at any stage of the design process. The data in SDF file is in ASCII format and it is independent of the tool being used. It contains the below Design related information :-…

Introduction to Static Timing Analysis

“STATIC” in STA  STATIC refers to something independent w.r.t time in performing Timing Analysis. In Timing Analysis if you make the Analysis independent of the Input Vectors Applied (which is the only thing that can vary with time) then it is known as Static Timing Analysis. Now the question may arise that How it is…
