"""Functions to measure the delay and power of an SRAM at a given address and
data bit.
In general, this will perform the following actions:
1) Trim the netlist to remove unnecessary logic.
2) Find a feasible clock period using max load/slew on the trimmed netlist.
3) Characterize all loads/slews and consider fail when delay is greater than 5% of feasible delay using trimmed netlist.
4) Measure the leakage during the last cycle of the trimmed netlist when there is no operation.
5) Measure the leakage of the whole netlist (untrimmed) in each corner.
6) Subtract the trimmed leakage and add the untrimmed leakage to the power.
Netlist trimming can be removed by setting OPTS.trim_netlist to
False, but this is VERY slow.
