Static Timing Analyser Tool

A static timing analyser computes the longest event path through logic gates and clock-to-Q paths of edge-triggered flops.

The longest path is generally the critical path that sets the maximum clock frequency. However, sometimes this is a false result, since this path might never be used during device operation.
