Cell delay / Net delay

  • Cell delay
-Cell delay is the amount of delay from input to output of a logic gate in a path.

-Dimensional table of delay values dependent on input net transition and output capacitance

[Example]

  • Net delay

-Net delay is the amount of delay from the output of a cell to the input of the next cell in a timing path.

[Methods of calculating net delay]

1) Estimating delays WLM (In fact, these days we use the zero wire load model.->Setting the worst case using a clock derating)

2) Using specific tiem values back-annotated from Standard Delay Format(SDF) file.

3) RC extraction -> SPEF(Standard Parasitic Exchange Format) file.
