Limitations of STA Timing Design STA by VLSI Universe - July 11, 2021July 20, 20210 Static timing analysis helps to find timing issues in almost all aspects of a design and is very important to have a VLSI chip with no timing problems. But there are still some cases where STA timing verification cannot be completely applied and verified. Let us discuss some of such difficulties or limitations of STA in the below article. You can read these STA (Setup time and Hold time) and STA-related problems with solutions articles to understand static timing analysis first. Calculating maximum operating frequency and checking for setup and hold time violations are described in detail. STA during Reset Sequence When there is an asynchronous or synchronous reset, we need to check whether all the flip-flops got reset. The flops must reset into
