SlewFTA: Functional Timing Analysis Considering Slew Propagation

Timing analysis is an essential part of the modern VLSI design flow. When compared to static timing analysis (STA), functional timing analysis (FTA) can not only calculate a critical delay that is closer to the true delay of the circuit, but it can also consider its function to generate an actual input pattern to induce such delay. However, similar to STA, the original FTA always chooses the cell'...
