SIMULATION / SA-EDA-STDCELL-001

Standard-cell delay, area, and pin-cap report replay
Stdcell Report Replay

A browser CSV replay for reading standard-cell drive strength, input slew, output load, pin capacitance, area, setup/hold slack, and report-stage evidence without copying libraries or running EDA tools.

EXPLORE

Start with the observable.

Use this page when the simulation is the primary artifact. The linked lesson explains the concept; the linked lab keeps the visual replay surface available.

guided exploration
  • Filter cell archetype, drive strength, input slew, output load, report stage, and optimization goal before trusting a single slack number.
  • Compare pin capacitance, load capacitance, fanout, intrinsic delay, load delay, output slew, area, leakage, setup slack, hold slack, and max-cap/max-slew risk together.
  • Use the decision gate to separate setup review, hold review, max-cap/slew review, routed-evidence-needed, area/power recovery, and bounded report-reading rows.
  • Keep the public boundary visible: this is not a Liberty table, copied standard-cell library, OpenROAD report, PDK collateral, timing-closure result, or signoff claim.

BROWSER INTERACTIVE LAB

Filter the saved CSV. Inspect matching replay rows.

No server solver is running here. The browser filters a precomputed table and redraws the plot locally.

Each metric is normalized independently for shape inspection. Vertical positions do not compare magnitude across metrics.

RUN CARD

Conditions before conclusions.

The browser filters saved CSV rows. It does not run OpenROAD, OpenLane, OpenSTA, Yosys, ABC, PEX, SPICE, uploaded report parsing, library ingestion, timing closure, or signoff.

METHODS

How the number was made.

Methods are written for citation discipline: the extraction rule matters as much as the plotted value.

method

Generate a Cartesian synthetic sweep across cell archetype, drive strength, input slew bin, output load bin, report stage, and optimization goal.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Compute educational proxies for pin cap, total load, fanout ratio, intrinsic delay, load delay, output slew, area, leakage, dynamic energy, setup slack, hold slack, max-cap/slew risk, and timing-evidence score.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Apply decision gates that route the learner to setup timing review, hold timing review, max-cap/slew review, routed evidence, area/power recovery, or bounded report reading.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Store CSV, typed JSON, model card, source links, and public boundary together with no copied Liberty, cell-library, PDK, report, or command-transcript collateral.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

LIMITS

What this page does not claim.

The MVP is useful because the limits are visible. These statements prevent a teaching simulation from being cited as silicon evidence.

non-claim

No Liberty table, standard-cell file, LEF/DEF/GDS/SPEF/SDC, OpenROAD report body, command transcript, PDK/rule deck, or proprietary design data is copied.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

No live server OpenROAD/OpenLane/OpenSTA/Yosys/ABC/PEX/SPICE execution, uploaded design/report parsing, timing closure, ECO action, or signoff workflow is active.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

No tapeout readiness, product readiness, foundry closure, PPA benchmark, library ranking, or timing-closure claim is made.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

Rows are normalized synthetic teaching proxies and require owned libraries, constraints, parasitics, tool versions, reports, and design-owner review before engineering reuse.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

EVIDENCE

Trace the claim back to artifacts.

The evidence route remains the catalog-level browser; this page is the simulation-level reading card.

evidence note

CSV replay with 3456 rows and explicit cell, drive, slew, load, stage, goal, metric, decision-gate, evidence-state, and next-check fields.
