IEEE P1497 Approval Letter

IEEE DASC Standard Delay Format (SDF) Study Group (PAR 1497)
History: The SDF specification was developed by Cadence in 1990-91, and proposed to OVI as a standard in the same year. OVI SDF 2.0 was released in June '93, with version 2.1 following in February '94 and version 3.0 in May '95. At the IVC/VIUF conferences in March '96, the DASC authorized a study group. At that point the OVI LM-TSC group effectively doubled as two groups, the IEEE-LM and IEEE-SDF. IEEE standardization effort: SDF (Standard Delay Format) 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. The project would take OVI SDF Version 3.0 and with appropriate enhancements turn it into an IEEE standard. Specific work would include [but not be limited to] a detailed review of the SDF LRM, a transformation of the LRM toconfirm to IEEE standards, introduction of the LABEL feature, and discussion and possible action on new proposals.

Purpose: SDF has come to be accepted as a standard by many companies both in the EDA industry and among their customers, but minor differences have gradually arisen, primarily due to its rapid adoption and evolution. IEEE standardization brings with it an opportunity to reduce and eventually eliminate non-standard implementations and usages of SDF, to enhance and improve it, and also to broaden its usage around the world.
