What are the inputs needed for STA?

o   Netlist:

o   Timing Libraries (.lib, .db):

o   Parasitics Information (SPEF/DSPF/RSPF/SBPF):

o   Timing Constraints (SDC - Synopsys Design Constraints):

o   Operating Conditions/MMMC file: Implicitly defined via the library corners selected, but sometimes explicitly set (e.g., specific voltage/temperature for analysis if not tied directly to a library corner).

o   (Optional) Power Intent (UPF/CPF): If the design has multiple power domains, the UPF/CPF file is needed to understand which supply nets power which cells, enabling power-aware STA.
