Question 1

Why is post-layout timing analysis essential in VLSI design?

  • To verify the design meets initial specifications
  • To analyze parasitic effects
  • To test power consumption

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how timing is impacted beyond initial design.

Question 2

True or False: Corner analysis only checks for voltage variations.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what corner analysis entails.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a circuit design that passed initial timing analysis, it fails post-layout timing analysis due to parasitics. Design a method to integrate back-annotation effectively.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider both capacitive and inductive effects of connections.

Question 2

Your design performs well at nominal conditions but fails at extreme voltage. Propose a corner analysis adjustment to include more corner cases.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the implications of varying conditions on circuit speed.
