ISBN: 0818654104High level functional information, available in a circuit specification, can be used to refine timing analysis or modeling. The notion of functional false path is first introduced. Then, the principles of an accurate timing analysis are presented for circuits made up of a controller and a datapath. The approach takes advantage of the circuit hierarchy to reduce the computation complexity and avoids reporting functional false paths
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
