    Standard Delay Format (SDF) files contain timing information to describe interconnect delays, device delays, and timing checks in a tool-independent format. SDF files include timing data like cell delays, pulse propagation times, and interconnect delays. The file structure consists of a header section with general information followed by sections for each cell that can represent primitives or blocks, with delay values and timing constraints specified for each.

    what is sdf?
    IEEE Std 1497.
    It is an ASCII rext file.
    It includes specification of interconnect delays,
    device dealys and timing checks.
    it is meant as an exchange medium betweeen tools.
    the data represented in tool independant and
    language independant.
    TYPICAL FLOW OF SDF FILE
    WHAT IT CONTAINS?
    cell delays
    pulse propagation
    timing checks
    intreconnect delays
    timing environment
    THE FORMAT
    An SDF file contains a header section followed by one or more cells.
    Each cell represents a region or scope in a design. It can be a library
    primitive or a user-defined black box.
    The header section contains general information and does not affect
    the semantics of the SDF file, except for the hierarchy separator,
    timescale and the SDF version number.
    EX:1.(DIVIDER /)
    2.(TIMESCALE 10ps)
    The SDF version, SDFVERSION, is required and is used by the consumer
    of SDF to ensure that the file conforms to the specified SDF version.
    Other information in header file
    CELL
    A cell may either be a library primitive or a hierarchical block.
    DELAY:Used to describe delays
    Error limit and Rejection limit:
    eight types of delay definitions:
