    1. This document lists 20 common questions asked in STA (Static Timing Analysis) interviews. 2. Questions focus on topics like including analog macros in extraction, maintaining timing around block peripheries, minimizing hold buffers, setting up timing constraints, handling multiple operating modes, I/O timing closure techniques, and fixing timing and noise violations. 3. The questions provide a good overview of important STA concepts that interviewers assess candidates on, such as constraint setup, timing analysis flows, and solving common timing issues.

    STA Interview Question Part 3

    1. What should we do if we want to include analog macro in the extraction?


    2. Type of techniques around periphery of block to maintain timing.
    3. Techniques to minimize number of hold buffers.
    4. What point in design, we look at hold timing?
    5. Were design blocks multimode?
    6. Single set or multiple set of constraints (for clock)
    7. Any experience in timing closure/ECO?
    8. What format did you get your ECO file? In Tcl script format or Graphical based format?
    9. Who set up primetime tool for design (like setting constraints)?
    10. For STA, do you need to create constraints for different operating modes like system mode or
    test mode?
    Contact Form
    11. Techniques for I/O interface timing closure.
    12. Experience with Multimode/Single mode and multi corner blocks?
