Systems and methods for context aware circuit design

A method for designing a circuit, comprising:

• determining a baseline value of an electrical property associated with the circuit;
• generating a context aware value of the electrical property based on the baseline value and a derate table, wherein the derate table comprises information related to a sensitivity of the electrical property to a context parameter associated with the circuit;
• and
• performing a static analysis of the circuit based on the context aware value of the electrical property.

A system for designing a circuit, comprising:

• a non-transitory storage medium encoded with a set of instructions;
• and
• a hardware processor communicatively coupled with the non-transitory storage medium and configured to execute the set of instructions, the set of instructions being configured to cause the processor to:
• identify a subset of standard cells configured for designing the circuit;
• determine at least one key context parameter for cells in the subset, based on a sensitivity of at least one electrical property of the cells to the at least one key context parameter;
• generate at least one derate table based on the sensitivity of the at least one electrical property of the cells to the at least one key context parameter;
• and
• perform a static analysis of the circuit based on the at least one derate table.
