Abstract
A method for timing optimization of an integrated circuit design using a timing optimization system comprising loading an original delay value and an original gate configuration net-list for an original gate from a results database. A near optimum gate configuration is identified using near optimum gate configuration information stored in a delay characterization database for the original gate. A near optimum delay value and a near optimum gate configuration net-list of a near optimum gate configuration are loaded. A timing optimized gate configuration is provided from running an incremental static timing analysis of the near optimum gate configuration.
