A compact variation-aware timing model for a standard cellin a cell library is developed using Principal ComponentAnalysis (PCA) and experimental design. The model incorporates variations in the input waveform and loading,process parameters, and the environment into the cell timingmodel. PCA is used to form a compact model of a set ofwaveforms impacted by these sources of variation. Cellcharacterization involves describing how waveforms aretransformed by a cell as a function of the input waveforms,process parameters, and the environment. The models havebeen evaluated by calculating the delay of paths. The results demonstrate improved accuracy in comparison with tablebased static timing analysis at comparable computational cost. Complexity of the models as a function of the number of parameters modeling variation is also discussed.
