Setup/hold interdependence in the pulsed latch (Spinner cell)
This paper showcases the study on the Setup/Hold inter-dependence. It examines different existing methods for characterization and presents a new method to determine the Setup/Hold pairing for Standard Cells. This new method developed by Dolphin Integration is applied particularly on the pulsed latch (spinner system) in order to obtain the best compromise between circuit's speed and the reliability.
