Systems and methods for extracting hierarchical path exception timing models

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to a system for performing static timing analysis in an electronic design. Embodiments may include providing, using at least one processor, an electronic design and extracting hierarchical crossing path exception information from a hierarchical design view associated with the electronic design. Embodiments may further include transferring the hierarchical crossing path exception information to a block view associated with the electronic design and extracting a timing model based upon, at least in part, the hierarchical crossing path exception information. Embodiments may also include implementing the timing model at a top-level view associated with the electronic design.
