Timing closure

Term · Semiconductors · MLC-T-SEM-000338

The process in integrated circuit design where all timing constraints, such as setup and hold times, are met across all operating conditions. This involves iterative analysis and adjustments to the circuit's physical layout and logical structure. Achieving timing closure confirms that the circuit will operate correctly at its specified clock frequency.
