Abstract

The design flow method of the present invention accurately performs timing analysis during the circuit design stage, so that the DFT synthesis procedure can effectively control the timing information, preventing timing violation from happening during the IC design flow process. Furthermore, the information of the CTS procedure and the static-timing analysis procedure is combined to perform accurate timing estimation.
