9.7 Timing Exceptions Overview

Use timing exceptions to overwrite the default behavior of the design path.

Timing exceptions include:

  • Setting multicycle constraint to specify paths that (by design) will take more than one cycle.
  • Setting a false path constraint to identify paths that must not be included in the timing analysis or the optimization flow.
  • Setting a maximum/minimum delay constraint on specific paths to relax or to tighten the original clock constraint requirement.
