Cell Delay

akshayd1

 In ETS I am getting the same cell delay for a cell BUF when I the design is set at 25C and 110C. Ideally I should see the delay increase. I saw the cell in the exactly same path in both the designs. What could be the explanation?

    Make sure your timing library has k-factors defined so the tool knows how timing should be scaled based on PVT. For example, the timing constraint equation for setup rise is.


    rise_constraint * (1 + delta_voltage * k_volt_setup_rise)
    * (1 + delta_temp * k_temp_setup_rise)
    * (1 + delta_process * k_process_setup_rise)

    Hope this helps!
