Abstract:
A method includes identifying the first path as a target path, wherein an operation speed of the target path is adjusted from the corner case; deriving and outputting first values from the lookup table by indexing the lookup table with a threshold voltage associated with the first path identified as the target path as the main threshold voltage and a threshold voltage associated with the second path as the slave threshold voltage; calculating a first extra time based on the first values and first cell delays associated with the first path.

Claim (Index 1):
A method, comprising:\n preparing a netlist of a digital circuit describing a timing path, wherein the timing path includes a first path and a second path, which are controlled by a same clock signal while do not overlap with each other, wherein the first path includes a launch clock path and a data path, and the second path includes a capture clock path, wherein the first path includes a first cell having a first threshold voltage, and a second cell having a second threshold voltage, wherein the second path includes a third cell and a fourth cell, preparing a timing library describing a first cell delay associated with the first cell, a second cell delay associated with the second cell, a third cell delay associated with the third cell and a fourth cell delay associated with the fourth cell; preparing a lookup table providing values for adjusting operation speed of a cell, the values being derived based on a corner case at which a timing analysis is performed; and performing a simulation based on the netlist, the timing library, and the lookup table, the simulation including:\n identifying the first path as a target path, wherein an operation speed of the target path is adjusted from the corner case; \n deriving and outputting first values from the lookup table by indexing the lookup table with a threshold voltage associated with the first path identified as the target path as the main threshold voltage and a threshold voltage associated with the second path as the slave threshold voltage; \n calculating a first extra time based on the first values and first cell delays associated with the first path; \n identifying the second path as the target path; \n deriving and outputting second values from the lookup table by indexing the lookup table with a threshold voltage associated with the second path identified as the target path as the main threshold voltage and a threshold voltage associated with the first path as the slave threshold voltage; and \n calculating a second extra time based on the second values and second cell delays associated with the second path.
