Timing Closure时序收敛
Timing closure is the stage in digital IC design where all setup, hold, and other timing constraints are met across the entire design under specified operating conditions. It appears in RTL-to-GDSII implementation documentation, signoff reports, and design review records where static timing analysis results, clock skew, and design margins are summarized; the term is common in EDA tool flows and backend design reviews.

Where this term appears
In localization, timing closure appears in digital design flow documentation, static timing analysis reports, EDA tool user guides, and signoff checklists. It also appears in design review presentations and project status documents where engineers discuss critical paths, clock skew, and whether a block has met timing. The term is common in frontend and backend implementation content.
Translation checks
A common mistake is translating timing closure as 'time closure' or 'closing time,' which can suggest a schedule deadline rather than a signoff condition for circuit timing. Another error is treating it as a one-time event; in documentation, timing closure is often iterative, so wording that implies a single pass may misrepresent the design flow.
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.
