SETUP FIXING TECHNIQUES

Setup timing violations fixing techniques:

• Upsize the cell
• Swapping the cell foot print from HVT to LVT
• Add Buffer Based on the net length if the net length is more than the buffer delay we can add the buffer otherwise it will increase the violation timing
• Specify Net weight : Means We are giving the priority of the net to route the top metal metal layers.
• Specify net guide
• Creating the bound
• Upsize the launch flop
• Usefull Skew
• Based on top level decreasing the frequency
• Pipe Lining process

Note:
Bound ,Net weight and Net guide should give before Placement stage
Remaining techniques will applicable after the routing {ECO stage}
