Abstract

Zero wire load based assertions are generated. A zero wire load report is generated for a set of logic in a hardware description language corresponding to a circuit design. A set of assertions is identified for the circuit design by parsing the zero wire load report based in part on real data values corresponding to best case delays for one or more input pins and one or more output pins in a plurality of macros of the circuit design. A circuit may be fabricated based on the set of assertions.
