However, I'm not sure if it is fair to say that slow=worst case and fast=best case since that is application dependent, but I think I get your point. Thanks, Chris > > Hi Chris, One justification for referring to "slow corner" as "worst case" is that slow edge simulations are frequently applied to evaluate the worst system timing (setup margins), and to ensure that the signal achieves its full voltage amplitude. However, as you have noted, associating "worst case" with "slow corner" and "best case" with "fast corner" has some drawbacks; particularly because worst (highest) level crosstalk and ringing are usually investigated by means of fast edge simulations.
