‘A mode is defined by a set of clocks, supply voltages, timing constraints,
and libraries. It can also have annotation data, such as SDF or parasitic files.
Many chip have multiple modes such as functional modes, test rode, sleep mode, and
Corer:-
‘A comeris defined as a set of libraries characterized for process, voltage, and
variations,
Comers are not dependent on functional settings; they are meant to capture variations in
manufacturing process, along with expected variations in the voltage and temperature of
environment in which the chip wil operatePVT CONDITIONS (CORNERS)
“Temperature: Best case, worst case, typical = 3 comers
+ Process for celis: Fast-fast, slow-slow, fast-siow, siow-fast, typical = 5 comers.
-Voltage: Best case, worst case, typical = 3 comers
*Process for interconnect: Max C, Min C, Max RC, Min RC, typical = § cornersEXAMPLE:-
consider a chip that has four operating modes (Normal, Sleep, Scan shift, tag),
and is being analyzed at three PVT corners (WC, BC, TYPICAL) and three parasitic
Interconnect comers (Typical, Min C, Min RC)
