Statistical timing analysis has been widely applied to predict the timing yield of VLSI circuits when process variations become significant. Existing statistical latch timing met...
Level-sensitive transparent latches are widely used in high-performance sequential circuit designs. Under process variations, the timing of a transparently latched circuit will ada...
Physical synthesis tools are responsible for achieving timing closure. Starting with 130nm designs, multiple cycles are required to cross the chip, making latch placement critical...
