Abstract;In this paper, we present a tequnique to eliminate false-paths specified by the circuit topology in the statical static timing analysis of a CMOS combinatorial circuit. The technique can be embeded in our timing analyzer, which treats not only correlations between distributions of delays of reconvergent-paths, but also correlations between distributions of transistor delays in a logic gate and correlations between interconnect delays in a net. The method treating such correlations is used for eliminating falth-paths. (author abst.)
