How fixing max trans on clock path will impact timing {setup and hold}?


Ans: Fixing trans on clock path by up-sizing of buffers or inserting of buffers will decrease the insertion delay of a Flip-Flop.
Now consider the impact of insertion delay of FF on timing...........
Setup requirement equation:
tlaunch_insertion_delay + tcq + tcomb < tclk - tsetup + tcapture_insertion_delay
Hold requirement equation:
tlaunch_insertion_delay + tcq + tcomb > thold + tcapture_insertion_delay

Scenario-1: 
                 if u fix trans on diverge capture path it is going to worsen the setup requirement  and improves the hold requirement.

Scenario-2:
                if u fix trans on diverge launch path it is going to worsen the hold requirement and improves the setup requirement.

Scenario-3:
               if u fix trans on common path for launch & capture it is not going to show any impact on timing

Note: Fixing trans is going to show impact on skew
