TAN is old, and just available for designs that were run with it. _sta is TimeQuest, i.e. the new and more powerful timing analysis tool. New devices are only supported in TimeQuest.

Hi, 

 

Thanks a lot for the reply... 

 

 

But is there any performance difference between these two.... If so in what aspect they are different... 

 

Moreover the _sta has the capability of taking input in the form of .sdc... Is this option available for _tan ? 

 

Will it be good to use only _sta rather than _tan... as it is new and defenetly one could expect better results from it ...  

 

 

Please reply for my queries ...  

 

Bye, 

Sri
