Analyze And Measure Sequential Logic Timing Statistically LeCroy Application Brief No. LAB WM729 Finding Setup/Hold Timing Violation Analyze And Measure Sequential Logic Timing Statistically The analysis and location of tim- ing errors in sequential logic cir- cuits goes beyond merely trig- gering on a timing anomaly. Statistical analysis helps the de- signer understand the nature and cause of the problem. A parame- ter track function provides a fast way to locate timing errors in long data records. Triggering a scope on a single anomaly, such as a setup time violation, can be helpful in studying individual timing events. A setup time sensitive trigger is shown in figure 1. A more complete picture of a tim- ing problem is obtained by using histogramming. In figure 2 the Figure 1: -……
