Abstract
A system for analyzing an electronic circuit includes a computer. The computer obtains a description of the electronic circuit. The computer further analyzes the electronic circuit by using compiled static timing analysis (CSTA). Specifically, in one embodiment, the computer is configured to compile a timing model for the circuit responsive to the description of the circuit. The timing model comprises a description of a timing path and a description of an algorithm to evaluate the timing path. The computer is further configured to analyze a design that includes the circuit, wherein the analyzing comprises evaluating the timing model, and wherein evaluating the timing model comprises performing the algorithm to evaluate the timing path.
