On-chip Variations

OCV(On-chip Variations), caused by PVT variation.

 

set_timing_derate  -early 0.8    (capture clock path for setup checks or launch clock path for hold checks, early < 1 缩小)

set_timing_derate  -late   1.1    (launch clock path for setup or capture clock path for hold checks, late > 1 放大)

默认cell_delay和net_delay都加上同一derate值，也可分别加。

set_timing_derate  -cell_delay  -early  0.9

set_timing_derate  -cell_delay  -late  1.0

 

• Cell check delays, such as setup and hold of cell, can be derated by using -cell_check option.（调整Cell的setup/hold时间）
• -clock option applies derating only to clock paths.
• -data option applies derating only to data paths.

 

(1) No need to derate for late path when Worst PVT condition.

set_timing_derate  -early 0.9

set_timing_derate  -late 1.0

or

set_timing_derate  -early 0.9 -clock

(2) No need to derate for early path when best-case fast PVT corner.

set_timing_derate  -early 1.0

set_timing_derate  -late 1.2
