  • Patent number: 4924430
    Abstract: The time verification scheme of the present invention operates without input stimulus to calculate delays along circuit paths including logic elements or cells from initial input to final output, or over sub-circuit paths, of a proposed logic design. The delay calculations include cell-dependent, and layout-dependent, and environmental-dependent factors to account for response delays on rising and falling signal; capacitance loading, temperature-dependency and voltage-dependency of a proposed logic design to provide output histograms and reports of information about overall performance, and timing violations of the proposed logic design with respect to operating parameters that can be selectively adjusted for manufacturing variations.
