Slew-Load Characterization

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• construct integrated circuitry;
• identify input signal paths, internal signal paths and output signal paths associated with the integrated circuitry;
• and
• generate a timing table for slew-load characterization of the input signal paths, the internal signal paths and the output signal paths, including:
• simulating corner points for the timing table;
• building diagonal points for the timing table based on the simulated corner points, and
• building remaining points for the timing table based on the simulated corner points and the diagonal points.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

• construct integrated circuitry;
• identify input signal paths, internal signal paths and output signal paths associated with the integrated circuitry;
• and
• generate a timing table for slew-load characterization of the input signal paths, the internal signal paths and the output signal paths, including:
• simulating corner points for the timing table;
• building diagonal points for the timing table based on the simulated corner points;
• and
• building remaining points for the timing table based on the simulated corner points and the diagonal points.
