Abstract
A method for performing a global timing analysis of a proposed digital circuit comprising receiving timing models and the proposed digital circuit; determining at least one mode of circuit operation of the proposed digital circuit; deriving a sub-circuit corresponding to each of at least one mode of circuit operation; performing timing analysis on each of the sub-circuits derived corresponding to each of the modes; and combining the timing analysis results for all of the modes to determine an overall maximum circuit delay.
