hi i think we deal with timing in 2 a littlebit different aspects : -on-board interface and interconnect timing. taking every chip as a black box. specifying PCB layout length and matching constraints, validating the designs. -on chip logic and interconnect timing, and IO timing seen from the chip. Mostly for VLSI/ASIC/FPGA-based on-chip logic design, but also to understand board-level timing too. if you think about it, they are the same thing, but at a littlebit different starting points. Greg Edlunds book is trying to talk about the first one, but I think lots of things are missing from that. so, i would suggest to check also the jedec 79B, 79C, 21C standards, and search for appnotes, from Texas instruments, Altera, Micron, Cadence. But for start, Gregs book is quiet good. About the second one, i would suggest this one: (I just started reading it few days ago. its a brand new book) http://www.amazon.com/Static-Timing-Analysis-Nanometer-Designs/dp/0387938192/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1241797932&sr=8-1 regards, Istvan Nagy, CCT, UK ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jennifer Maharani" <jennifer.maharani@xxxxxxxxx> To: <si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 7:32 AM Subject: [SI-LIST] Timing analysis > Dear experts, > > What is timing analysis? > What do I need to compare e.g. data, strobe ? > Is there any book or article explaining the procedure in detail? > > Many thanks, > Jenni > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > To unsubscribe from si-list: > si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field > > or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: > //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list > > For help: > si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field > > > List technical documents are available at: > http://www.si-list.net > > List archives are viewable at: > //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list > or at our remote archives: > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages > Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: > http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list or at our remote archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list/messages Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
