If you’ve read our High Speed Design e-book, then you will know that getting the timing correct within a given design is an invaluable step in the process of making a working product.
Many electrical engineers have learned to check timing at certain points of friction, and there are some great basic tools and rules of thumb one can follow to get started. However, it is only through digging deeper and having a solid understanding of static timing analysis and its challenges will you ensure your project runs smoothly.
