Summary of Tools in FPGA Static Timing Analysis

FPGA has been on wildly used in communications,aerospace and field of defense science and technology.FPGA static timing analysis(STA),which is a necessary part on FPGA development process. STA is a method to debug timing performance. This paper introduces the most popular tools to do static timing analysis. This paper also introduces the static timing analysis module software independently developed by Fudan University. We also compare the input files, output files, work flow and the characteristics of the kinds of toos to do static timing analysis.
