SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

OpenSTA timing analysis is essential for validating WNS/ TNS across synthesis and post-PD flows, but doing multi-corner signoff manually is time-consuming and error-prone.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Render per-corner OpenSTA TCL scripts and run multi-corner timing checks.
  • Parse logs into a structured JSON timing report for quick decision making.
  • Integrate with synthesis and PD workflows to trigger re-runs when timing gaps are found.

Quick Start

Provide netlist, top_module, sdc_path, and tech_lib (or a corner map) to run OpenSTA timing signoff across defined corners.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate OpenSTA timing analysis across multiple signoff corners?

You can automate OpenSTA multi-corner timing signoff by providing a netlist, top module, SDC path, and tech library. The tool renders per-corner TCL scripts, executes them, and parses WNS/TNS results into a JSON report.

What inputs do I need to run multi-corner timing signoff with OpenSTA?

Running multi-corner timing signoff requires a design netlist, top module name, SDC path, and tech library or corner map. These inputs enable the tool to validate WNS/TNS across synthesis and post-PD flows.

Can I use ASAP7 technology corners for OpenSTA timing signoff?

Yes, OpenSTA timing signoff supports ASAP7 technology corners. The automation tool applies multi-corner timing checks using ASAP7 corner definitions for synthesis and post-PD design flows.

How does automated OpenSTA reporting parse WNS and TNS results?

Automated OpenSTA reporting parses WNS and TNS results by extracting timing data from execution logs into a structured JSON report. This format enables quick timing gap analysis and triggers re-runs in synthesis workflows.

What is the best way to integrate OpenSTA timing checks into a post-PD workflow?

Integrate OpenSTA timing checks into a post-PD workflow by automating multi-corner signoff with TCL rendering scripts. This validates WNS/TNS and triggers synthesis or PD re-runs when timing gaps are detected.

Why does manual multi-corner timing signoff fail in standard EDA flows?

Manual multi-corner timing signoff is time-consuming and error-prone when validating WNS/TNS across synthesis and post-PD flows. Automating OpenSTA TCL execution and JSON log parsing eliminates these manual errors.
