Configure STA environment

What’s STA environment? Specifying Clocks. Clock uncertainty and Clock latency Generated clocks Input paths constraint Output paths constraint  Timing path groups External attributes modeling  Check design rules Refine timing analysis Point-to-point specification Set up environment for static timing analysis. Specification of correct constraints is important in analyzing STA results. Design environment should be specified accurately… read more »
