Ringkasan	Logic Synthesis is the automated conversion of high-level hardware descriptions (RTL in Verilog/VHDL) into optimized gate-level netlists. Pioneered by Brayton et al. at UC Berkeley in the 1980s-1990s, logic synthesis transforms behavioral specifications into physical implementations, optimizing for area, speed, and power. Synthesis is essential to modern digital design, enabling rapid iteration and automation of the most tedious manual tasks.	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.
