Timing closure: Technology & Measurement

Timing closure in VLSI design and electronics engineering is the iterative design process of assuring all signals satisfy the timing requirements in a clocked synchronous circuit. The goal is to guarantee correct data transfer and reliable operation at the target clock frequency.
