Hi

People always tell me to avoid using latch in a design. This is due to the difficulties tht I will face later during my static timing analysis.

So far, I havent done the STA on latch based design before. Now, can someone pleeease enlighten me.

Why is it so hard to do STA on latch design?? What are the difficulties and the right method to do STA on latch based design??


Thanx in advance

I suggest u first understand time stealing/borrowing concept in a latch based design.
the basic idea is – one logical partition utilizes
a portion of time allotted to the next
partition.

its hard to analyse whether the designer has intended to use timeborrowing in a latch based design. so sta is difficult.
