static timing analysis

Hi everyone,

any good reference on STA? I know roughly well the principles but I've always wanted to get a deeper understanding of this - vast - subject, especially the algorithms behind it.

I often find formulas not very accurate and lacking of important aspects like clock skew or clock-to-out delays.

Thanks for any pointer.

Ok, I did some homework on my side and found a couple of references:

  1. Constraining Designs for Synthesis and Timing Analysis: A Practical Guide to Synopsys Design Constraints (SDC) (S. Gangadharan, S. Churiwala)

- ISBN-10: 1461432685 | ISBN-13: 978-1461432685 | Edition: 2013

  1. Static Timing Analysis for Nanometer Designs: A Practical Approach (J. Bhasker, R.Chadha)

- ISBN-10: 0387938192 | ISBN-13: 978-0387938196 | Edition: 2009

  1. Timing (Sachin Sapatnekar)

- ISBN-10: 1441954082 | ISBN-13: 978-1441954084 | Edition: 2004

Any idea about their added value? On Amazon there's a review on 2. which is not very encouraging, here's an excerpt:

Well, if anyone has read any of the above and has a comment I would certainly appreciate it.
