Hi, I would like to ask several questions regarding evaluation of digital design with SKY130 given that the flow (
!flow.tcl -design
) completed without any error. 1. Does the highest clock frequency usable in the design translate from the
/reports/signoff/25-rcx_sta.max.rpt
timing given that there are no hold time violation? (Ex: data arrival time ~20, so clock freq ~50MHz) 2. How can I find the number of gate used in the design? (Ex: calculate from area report in
/reports/signoff/25-rcx_sta.area.rpt
or calculate from
cell_count
in
/reports/metrics.csv
?) 3. My design violates the default value for
-max_slew -max_cap -max_fanout
. Would this possess any problem? I know that I could set the number higher through the
config.tcl
file but is there any number that MUST not be exceeded for this SKY130 technology? I am sorry for a relatively long questions but I would appreciate any confirmation/clarification.
