Figure 21-110. Timing Bottleneck Report - Sets Pane Dialog Box
þÿ
This pane has three mutually exclusive options:
  • Entire Design
  • Clock Domain
  • Use existing user set
  • Entire Design: Select this option to display the bottleneck information for the entire design.
  • Clock Domain: Select this option to display the bottleneck information for the selected clock domain. you can specify the following options:
    • Clock: Allows pruning based on a given clock domains. Only cells that lie on these violating paths are reported.
    • Type: This option can only be used in conjunction with -clock. The acceptable values are:
      Table 21-1. Values for Type Option
      ValueDescription
      Register to RegisterPaths between registers in the design
      Asynchronous to RegisterPaths from asynchronous pins to registers
      Register to AsynchronousPaths from registers to asynchronous pins
      External RecoveryThe set of paths from inputs to asynchronous pins
      External RemovalThe set of paths from inputs to asynchronous pins
      External SetupPaths from input ports to register
      External HoldPaths from input ports to register
      Clock to OutputPaths from registers to output ports
  • Use existing user set: Displays the bottleneck information for the existing user set selected. Only paths that lie within the name set are will be considered towards the bottleneck report.
  • Filter: Allows you to filter the bottleneck report by the following options:
    • From: Reports only cells that lie on violating paths that start at locations specified by this option.
    • To: Reports only cells that lie on violating paths that end at locations specified by this option. Filter defaults to all outputs.
