Hey everyone, I just had a quick question. So, I passed my design through Openlane and generated the GDS. The
metrics.csv
reported the critical path as 21.42 ns. However, the wns for setup time is 13.51ns. Does this mean my true critical path is ~7ns? Alternatively, does it mean that I can rerun the flow again with a higher target clock frequency, and the tool will try harder to make the critical path smaller. Thanks! Also, is there any way aside from just looking at the timing report and checking the netlist to see what the critical path is?
