o In a low-power project with specific operating performance points (OPPs) like:
o
"low_svs" (Low Standard Voltage Swing,
likely a power-saving mode)
o
"turbo" (a high-performance mode,
likely at a higher voltage),
o
Setup Analysis:
o
low_svs Mode: Analyze setup at the slowest
process corner (SS/SSG) combined with VddL and worst-case
temperature (often high temp for CMOS). This is SSG_VddL_HighTemp_RCworst.
This represents the slowest the logic will be in low power mode.
o
turbo Mode: Analyze setup at the slowest
process corner (SS/SSG) combined with VddH and worst-case
temperature. This is SSG_VddH_HighTemp_RCworst. This is the absolute
performance bottleneck.
o
Hold Analysis:
o
low_svs Mode: Analyze hold at the fastest
process corner (FF/FFG) combined with VddL and best-case
temperature (often low temp). This is FFG_VddL_LowTemp_RCbest. Data paths
are fastest here.
o
turbo Mode: Analyze hold at the fastest
process corner (FFG) combined with VddH and best-case temperature.
This is FFG_VddH_LowTemp_RCbest.
o
Power Analysis:
o
Static (Leakage) Power: Worst case
leakage is usually at the fastest process corner (FF/FFG) with highest
voltage (VddH) and highest temperature, for cells active in that
state. Also analyze at typical and low power states.
o
Dynamic Power: Typically analyzed under typical
process (TT) and nominal/turbo voltage (VddH) with realistic switching
activity for each mode (turbo mode will likely have higher activity).
