BS IEC 61523-3 is the third part of the multiple series that specifies the Standard Delay Format (SDF) is an existing OVI standard for the representation and interpretation of timing data for use at any stage of the electronic design process. The ASCII data in the SDF file is represented in a tool and language-independent way and includes path delays, timing constraint values, interconnect delays, and high-level technology parameters. BS IEC 61523-3 describes the IEEE version of the SDF standard.
BS IEC 61523-3 on standard delay formaty (SDF) for the electronic design process is useful for:
The Standard Delay Format (SDF) was designed to serve as a simple textual medium for communicating timing information and constraints between EDA tools.
BS IEC 61523-3 specifies the Standard Delay Format (SDF) that contains detailed information on how SDF is used in the design process, detailed semantic descriptions of all SDF constructs, the formal syntax, and examples for representing the delay and timing information of electronic systems.
Overall, BS IEC 61523-3 helps you in enhancements and improving the quality and rigour of the LRM.
