Implications:
Dont want false paths (produced by static delay
analysis)
False paths
fi-1 fi Fi+1
Intuition:
Check for static false path:
Path P = {f0, f1, f2, , fn}
f i
f i 1 gives conditions under which node
fi is sensitive to node fi-1
So output of P is sensitive to f0 if
n
f i
i 1 f i 1
0
f
Recall Boolean difference: x f x f x
Example: f x y xz
f
yz y z
x
Example: Static false path
u x
200 0 MUX 200 0 MUX
v 1 fi 1
100 100 y
s
fi su sv and f j sx sy
f i
( s v)( s v) sv ( sv) s

Hence, u x 0

Paths shown in bold are not statically
sensitizable, but delay of circuit is 3
