PT OCV

In the OCV mode, PrimeTime performs a conservative analysis that allows both minimum and maximum 

delays to apply to different paths at the same time.

For a setup check, it uses maximum delays for the launch clock path and data path, and minimum delays for the capture clock path.

For a hold check, it uses minimum delays for the launch clock path and data path, and maximum delays 

for the capture clock path.

## 5% derate for clock & data path

set_timing_derate -early -cell_delay 0.95

set_timing_derate -late -cell_delay 1.05

 

Early path delays include the capture clock path for a setup check, and the launch clock path and 

data path for a hold check. Late path delays include the launch clock path and data path for a 

setup check, and the capture clock path for a hold check.

 

 

Clock Reconvergence Pessimism Removal

Clock reconvergence pessimism is an accuracy limitation that occurs when two different clock 

paths partially share a common physical path segment and the shared segment is assumed to have a 

minimum delay for one path and a maximum delay for the other path. This condition can occur any 

time that launch and capture clock paths use different delays, most commonly with OCV analysis. 

Automated correction of this inaccuracy is called clock reconvergence pessimism removal(CRPR).
