Dear Readers, Today, we will be talking about STA, which is commonly referred to as static timing analysis. What is the actual meaning of it? What is the reason for doing it? What is the role of STA engineers in the real world? Many of us know that physical design is vast, and placing macros and standard cells interconnected with some metal layers is not enough. It's important to ensure that the input data gets to the output on time without any corruption or overwriting. For that, we need to do Setup and hold checks. What are these setup and hold? What are the reasons behind these timing violations? What is crosstalk, noise, timing arc, and unateness? What are the signoff checks we (STA engineers) do before the chip is going to tape out? All of these concepts we will discuss under this STA topic one by one in detail. Please stay tuned. Continue to read and learn with us. It's going to be fun😇 What is static timing analysis (STA)? Timing analysis is the evaluation of a design
