11.1. Timing paths

Any digital circuit can be represented as a “timing path” modeled between two flip flops.

 

Timing paths

Timing Path

Timing path is defined as the path between start point and end point where start point and end point is defined as follows:

Start Point:

All input ports or clock pins of a sequential element are considered as valid start point.

End Point:

All output port or D pin of sequential element is considered as End point.
