delay

can any one explain to me

what is cell delay & net delay & its differences?

regards,
vreddy
 

Re: delay

Cell delay is the amount of delay from input to output of a logic gate
in a path. The values of cell delay can be got from Timing libraries (i.e., .lib )
or from SDF files if they are available.

Net delay is the amount of delay from the output of a cell to the input
of the next cell in a timing path. Net delay is due to parasitic resistance and capacitence of net connection between cells .The significance of this is it may limit the Drive strength of net.
Net delays can be caluculated from SDF,DSPF,RSPF.
or can be estimated from Wire Load Models available in .lib file.

delay

Thanks roy,

DSPF stands for??
RSPF = Resistance standard parasitic format
SDF = Standard Delay format

Re: delay

SDF :standard delay format
Dspf: Detailed standard parasitic format
Rspf:Reducedd standard parasistic format

SDF,RSPF and DSPF.These are some formats. So how could we calculate net delays through these??
