Method and apparatus for integrating spice-based timing using sign-off path-based analysis

摘要

Methods and systems provide setup and generation of SPICE results for a set of timing path(s) and integration of SPICE simulation with static timing analysis (STA) path-based results generation. In an embodiment, a method may select a candidate set of timing paths, perform path based analysis (PBA) on the selected paths, generate SPICE results for the selected paths, and render the PBA and SPICE results in an integrated user interface to facilitate sign off based on annotated constraints and correlation between STA results and SPICE results. Methods and systems of the present disclosure find application in, among other things, timing signoff in an electronic design and verification process.
