Redhawk:什么是timing window?

Redhawk中的timing window是用于Vectorless Dynamic IR Drop分析的关键,它基于STA timing文件中的信号上升和下降时间范围。当时间窗口重合时,可能导致更高的功耗和压降,同时增加串扰风险。举例来说,icc2_ctscts_buf_48961348641的timing window为79ps-206ps。此外,文件的summary提供了关于覆盖概率和质量的信息,对于没有timing window的信号,可能存在未连接的FFs、black box问题或不正确的case analysis等状况。

在没有VCD仿真波形的情况下,只能预估信号跳变的时间范围,即timing window,timing window需要在sta timing文件中获取(如图1),用于Vectorless Dynamic IR Drop 分析压降。timing window定义为输出pin最小到最大上升时间或最小到最大下降时间,redhawk采用这两组时间差最大的一组值作为timing window,timing window重合意味着同时跳变的概率提升,产生更大的功耗与压降,另外,timing window重合才会产生串扰crosstalk

### RedHawk SDR Framework Timing Window Configuration and Issues In the context of RedHawk, timing windows play a crucial role in static timing analysis (STA). For non-clock input pins, timing windows may not be generated by default to save runtime as these are deemed unnecessary under normal circumstances[^1]. However, specific scenarios require explicit attention. For designs that incorporate power switches with plans for analyzing their behavior using RedHawk tools, it becomes essential to generate timing windows specifically for control pins involved. In such cases, users should terminate the current run session and consult the user manual regarding the `ADS_CELLS_NEED_INPUT_TW` variable setting which can enforce generation of necessary timing windows. The concept of timing windows extends beyond just clock signals; they provide critical timing constraints for inputs ensuring accurate simulation results during STA processes. Some instances might involve defining toggle rates without specifying timing windows through directives like `NO_TIMING_WINDOW`, where alternative methods ensure proper signal handling despite lacking detailed timing specifications[^4]. #### Example Code Snippet Demonstrating Timing Window Definition ```tcl set_input_delay -clock clk_name 0.5 [get_ports input_port] ``` This snippet illustrates how one could define an input delay relative to a given clock edge, effectively establishing a timing window around the specified port within the RedHawk environment. --related questions-- 1. How does configuring ADS_CELLS_NEED_INPUT_TW impact overall performance? 2. What alternatives exist when dealing with NO_TIMING_WINDOW definitions in design files? 3. Can you explain more about integrating external clocks into timing analyses performed by RedHawk? 4. Is there any difference between Linux and Windows implementations concerning timing configurations?
