Skew-Tolerant Circuit Design

A

Timing Constraints

To illustrate the formulations described in Sections 6.1 and 6.2, we present a complete set of the timing constraints of each formulation applied to the simple microprocessor example from Figures 6.1 and 6.2.

Skewless Formulation

The timing constraints with no skew are the following:

Setup Constraints

Propagation Constraints

Single Skew Formulation

The timing constraints budgeting global skew everywhere are very similar to those with no skew:

Setup Constraints

Propagation Constraints

Exact Formulation ...
