This is a part of the timing report I obtained after the nanoroute stage of my design in Cadence Encounter 9.1. In order to fix the set up violations, I would like to insert buffers or upsize the cells. But how do I know which cells should I upsize or where should I insert the buffers?
Can anybody please help?? Thanx in advance
