DVD - Lecture 11a: Sign-off Timing

Bar-Ilan University 83-612: Digital VLSI Design This is Lecture 11 of the Digital VLSI Design course at Bar-Ilan University. In this course, I cover the basics of Chip Implementation, from designing the logic (RTL) to providing a layout ready for fabrication (GDS). Lecture 11 wraps up the RTL to GDS flow with the extra steps that are needed to take a design that has finished place and route and prepare it for tape-out. Lecture 11a revisits Static Timing Analysis for signoff, applying additional timing margins, discussing concepts, such as on-chip variation (OCV) and its flavors.
