Agenda: Day Two Unit Objectives State why physical data is useful during top-level integration State what is SDF data State the three parasitic models PrimeTime accepts State the precedence of back-annotated data Why Use Physical Data? Timing Convergence The goal is to achieve timing convergence with the physical tools Without timing convergence, there may be many iterations between the logical and physical tools before timing closure! Execute top-level integration with available physical data Prelayout, timing analysis performed based on wire load models Postlayout, replace wire load models
