clock uncertainty

iullah
Hello All!
How can I define different uncertainty value for different delay corners (i. e WCL_rcworst_-40) in encounter?

  •  Hi

    Following procedure may help. Basically, you need to provide the SDC file with the new/updated clock uncertainty.

    For examle: 

     updateSDC -view WCL_rcworst_-40 -sdc <sdc_file_with_new_clock_uncertainty>
