Static Timing Analysis
Static Timing Analysis (STA) is a non-simulation method for verifying that digital circuits meet timing constraints (clock frequencies, setup/hold times, propagation delays). Introduced systematically by Bhatnagar et al. in the 1990s, STA computes worst-case and best-case path delays by analyzing logic paths without simulating vectors. STA is essential for modern VLSI design, enabling fast timing closure before silicon and identifying critical paths for optimization.
