What are the inputs needed for STA?

o Netlist:

Timing Libraries (.lib**,** .db**):**

Parasitics Information (SPEF/DSPF/RSPF/SBPF):

Timing Constraints (SDC - Synopsys Design Constraints):

Operating Conditions/MMMC file: Implicitly defined via the library corners selected, but sometimes explicitly set (e.g., specific voltage/temperature for analysis if not tied directly to a library corner).

(Optional) Power Intent (UPF/CPF): If the design has multiple power domains, the UPF/CPF file is needed to understand which supply nets power which cells, enabling power-aware STA.
