• Diamond: How does Timing Analysis use the CLKOFFSET value of the INPUT_SETUP preference?

  Consider an example report with INPUT_SETUP preferences, one with a 0.5 X CLKOFFSET and another one with -0.5 X CLKOFFSET. The calculation should be the following: Externally, user is using a positive-edge triggered flop and internally the tool is ...

• What would happen on the timing analysis if user set a negative value on the set_input_delay constraint?

  User can either set the negative value on the -max option or on the -min option: 1. Setting a negative value for the -max option of the set_input_delay: When user set a value of the set_input_delay for the -max option, this applies to the setup ...

• Diamond: How to add falling clock to INPUT_SETUP constraint/preference in Diamond?

  1. Try using Synplify Pro as the synthesis tool and migrate your LDC file to an SDC file (please put the correct names of the clock, ports, nets, and pins as these might change when changing synthesis tool.) 2. Use INPUT_SETUP preference. This has ...

• 212 - Diamond: Why do users have preference items in the trace report with 0 timing score?

  There are several reasons why users will see this happen: The timing constraint specified is covered by another timing constraint in the preference file. This is most often seen when the design has two related clocks. Trace will provide timing ...

• All Nexus / Radiant 2023.1 and older: How can the user calculate the Clock-To-Out (min and max) values and Input setup/hold values of the I/O Timing Analysis report?

  The Clock-to-Out max value is the setup analysis' arrival time of data with the output port's external timing path. The Clock-To-Out min value is the hold analysis' arrival time of data with the output port's external timing path. By default, timing ...
