DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       Generates a characterization from  a  timing  database  and  associates
       functionality if provided.
         It returns a blackbox timing figure with constraints at the interface
       of the circuit.
         The constraints generated can be filter by input, output and/or clock
       connectors.
         Generated  clocks  are  handled and simulations can also be used thru
       CPE to get spice precise results for the circuit characterisation.
