  • System and method for determining timing characteristics of a circuit design
    Publication number: 20050097486
    Abstract: Systems and methods can be employed to determine one or more timing characteristics of a circuit design. In one embodiment, a system includes a calculator that provides an indication of slack for at least one node of a circuit design, the at least one node being capable of operating transparently and non-transparently. The indication of slack is determined based on a minimum of slack for paths that include the at least one node, regardless of path transparency.
