Net Delay
Net delay is the difference between the time a signal is first applied to the net and the time it reaches other devices connected to that net. It is also known as a wire delay. This is the output pin of the cell to the input pin of the next cell.
List the parameters on which net delay or cell delay depends.
The net delay or cell delay depends on the following parameters #
- Input skew
- External delay
- Wire load model
- Library setup time
- Library delay model
- Operating conditions
- Back annotated delay
- Cell load characteristics
- Cell drive characteristics
Input skew and output skew
All input signals within a clocking block will be sampled at skew time units before the clock event if an input skew is mentioned for that block. All output signals in a clocking block will be driven skew time units after the appropriate clock event if an output skew is mentioned for that block. #
Output delay is the time required by the external circuit before which the data has to arrive at the output pin of the block with respect to the reference clock.
