StaticTimingAnalysis
StaticTimingAnalysis(English:StaticTimingAnalysis,STA),orStaticTimingverificationisaworkprocessforcalculatingandpredictingthetimingofdigitalcircuitsinelectronicengineering.Theprocessdoesnotneedtobesimulatedbyinputexcitation.
Traditionally,peopleoftenregardtheoperatingclockfrequencyasoneofthecharacteristicsofhigh-performanceintegratedcircuits.Inordertotesttheabilityofacircuittooperateataspecifiedrate,peopleneedtomeasurethedelayofthecircuitindifferentstagesofoperationduringthedesignprocess.Inaddition,indifferentdesignstages(suchaslogicsynthesis,placement,routing,andsomesubsequentstages),delaycalculationsneedtobeperformedinsidethetimeoptimizationprogram.AlthoughthistypeoftimemeasurementcanbeperformedthroughrigorousSPICEcircuitsimulation,thismethodconsumesalotoftimeinpractice.Statictiminganalysisplaysanimportantroleinthefastandaccuratemeasurementofcircuittiming.Statictiminganalysiscancompletetasksmorequicklybecauseitusesasimplifiedmodel,andittakesintoaccountthelogicalinteractionsbetweensignalstoalimitedextent.Statictiminganalysishasbecomethemaintechnicalmethodinrelateddesignfieldsinrecentdecades.
