Abstract

Various implementations of a method, system, and computer program product for executing timing analysis of an asynchronous clock domain crossing are disclosed. In one embodiment, a signal group and a corresponding timing specification are determined for one or more signals of an electronic design. For each of the signals, a clock associated with the signal is renamed based, at least in part, on the signal group associated with the signal. The asynchronous clock domain between a transmit domain and a receive domain is identified in the electronic design based, at least in part, on identifying a signal path associated with one or more renamed clocks that is asynchronous to a clock associated with the receive domain. For each of the one or more renamed clocks, timing analysis is executed across one or more signals associated with the renamed clock at the asynchronous clock domain crossing.
