A column slice of a CMOS TDI sensor includes a column bus, a column of pixels, plural first switches, a column of accumulators, plural second switches, plural third switches and output bus 39. Each of the plural first switches is coupled between the column bus and a corresponding pixel of the column of pixels, and each of the plural second switches is coupled between the column bus and a corresponding accumulator of the column of accumulators. In operation, only one switch at a time of plural first switches is “on” to connect the voltage signal from a corresponding pixel to the column bus while all remaining plural first switches are “off” to isolate the column bus from all remaining pixels. Only one of the plural second switches is “on” to connect the signal on the column bus to an accumulator while all remaining plural second switches are “off” to isolate the bus from all remaining accumulators. A main control circuit includes first and second shift registers to control the plural first and second switches to couple a signal from each pixel of the column of pixels into a corresponding accumulator of the column of accumulators while updating the accumulator until signals from all pixels have been transferred into corresponding accumulators. After this update cycle, an accumulated signal from the one accumulator that is currently addressed by a third shift register is read to the output. Then, the first and third shift registers are incremented. A new update cycle begins when a point in a moving image focused on the column slice crosses a pixel boundary. The same pattern repeats continuously. Valid TDI data is produced at the output after a number of full cycles of the transfer of pixels signals to the accumulators has been complete, the number being equal to the number of pixels.

A modeling system includes a processor with software that performs static timing analysis (STA) on a design model. STA software executes a static timing analysis (STA) run with shortened clock cycles to model full cycle clock variability. Designers or other entities interpret the results of the shortened STA run data by performing modeling on the output data to generate slack data for design model data paths. STA software executes an STA run with an extended clock cycle to automatically separate half cycle data path (HCDP) slack data from full cycle data path (FCDP) slack data. The full and half cycle clock variability method may automatically adjust slack data for all half cycle data paths (HCDP)s to account for the additional half cycle variation (AHCV) and half cycle clock edge variability that may penalize the design model results in a real hardware implementation. Designers use a sort of slack data for half cycle data paths (HCDP)s independent of the slack data for the full cycle data path (FCDP)s to modify or otherwise perform design changes to the design model prior to hardware implementation.
