SETUP TIME Violations fixing Techniques

SETUP TIME Violations fixing Techniques

The following techniques are used to fix the Setup time violations

1. Up-size the cell
2. HVT to LVT conversion
3. Add buffer on Data path

1).Up-size the buffer

• get_cells
• get_lib_cells -of_object cell_name  (which cell you want to up-size NOR2X0_HVT)
• get_alternative_lib_cells cell_name
• size_cell cell_name saed32hvt_ff1p16vn40c/NOR4X0_HVT (corresponding cell library with cell name )

2).HVT to LVT conversion

• get_cells
• get_lib_cells -of_objects U453 (cell name NOR4X0_LVT)
• size_cell U453 NOR4X0_LVT  (U453 Instance name)

3).Add buffer

• insert_buffer net_name BUFX4

Note: Here cell name means Instance name
