Hold Time保持时间
Hold time is the minimum duration that a data signal must remain stable after the active clock edge so that a flip-flop or latch captures it correctly without metastability. In timing analysis and constraint files for digital design documents, it specifies a lower bound that validation and sign-off flows check against the actual data path during corner and mode analysis.

Where this term appears
In translation and localization work, the term hold time appears in static timing analysis reports, standard delay constraint files, timing closure guides, and digital verification documentation at the block and chip level. It also occurs in EDA tool messages, design review presentations, and sign-off checklists where engineers discuss timing violations and required fixes.
Translation checks
The most common error is translating it as “retention time” or “hold duration,” or confusing it with setup time. Since hold time is a distinct timing constraint checked on the same clock edge, mistranslation in tool messages or checklist items can lead engineers to fix the wrong violation and misread sign-off reports.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Technical terms need checking against the source, approved product terminology and related specifications. Keep units, parameter conditions and document versions aligned across the file set.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
