The timing values given represent the worst-case values over the recommended operating conditions for the part. </p><h1>Overview</h1><p>The timing report consists of a series of sections: </p><h2>Summary</h2><p>This table summarizes the external timing parameters for your device, including <a href="#tPD"><!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->tPD<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}--></a>, <a href="#tCO"><!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->tCO<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}--></a>, <a href="#tSU"><!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->tSU<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}--></a>, <a href="#tCYC"><!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->tCYC<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}--></a>, and <a href="#fSYSTEM"><!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->fSYSTEM<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}--></a>. <!--kadov_tag{{<spaces>}}--> <!--kadov_tag{{</spaces>}}-->For a more detailed description of the timing model for your device, please refer to the application notes linked below.</p><h2>Timing Constraints</h2><p>This section reports on any timing constraints that you created for your design. Timing constraints can be entered using the Constraints Editor tool, or by editing an Implementation Constraints File directly. For more information on creating timing constraints, see the Constraints Guide. </p><p class=Note><span style="font-weight: bold;">Note</span> that if you did not define any constraints for your design, then the timing analysis software will automatically create a default set of constraints for you. These include pad-to-pad, register-to-register, pad-to-register, and period constraints. A constraint value of 0 <!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->ns<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}--> will be used for all of these automatically generated constraints. As a result, all paths listed under each constraint will violate the constraint, and will have a negative value for slack.</p><p class=Note><span style="font-weight: bold;">Note</span> also that to limit the size of the report, each path endpoint involved in a timing path will only be listed once, under a single constraint. <!--kadov_tag{{<spaces>}}--> <!--kadov_tag{{</spaces>}}--></p><p>For each timing path listed under a constraint, there is a hyperlink that can be used to open a window listing the individual internal delay elements traversed in the path. To understand these delay elements, consult the <a href="#Definitions">Definitions</a> section below, or the following application notes and white papers: </p><p><a href="http://www.xilinx.com/apps/epld.htm#CoolRunner2">XAPP375: Understanding the <!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->CoolRunner-II<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}--> Timing Model</a> </p><p><a href="http://www.xilinx.com/publications/whitepapers/index.htm">WP122: Using the <!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->CoolRunner<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}--> XPLA3 Timing Model</a> </p><p><a href="http://www.xilinx.com/apps/epld.htm#CoolRunner2">XAPP071: Using the XC9500 Timing Model</a> </p><p><a href="http://www.xilinx.com/apps/epld.htm#CoolRunner2">XAPP111: Using the XC9500XL Timing Model</a></p><p><a href="http://www.xilinx.com/apps/epld.htm#CoolRunner2"><!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->XAPP<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}--> 362: Using the XC9500XV Timing Model</a></p><p>available in the literature section of <a href="http://www.xilinx.com"><!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->www.xilinx.com</a>.<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}--> </p><h2>Data Sheet Report</h2><p>This section of the report lists the external timing parameters for your design. This includes; maximum external clock speed for each clock, setup and hold times for each registered input, clock-to-output pad timing for each registered output, clock to setup time for each register-to-register timing path, and pad-to-pad time for each combinatorial path through your design. </p><h2>Going Further</h2><p>To do more advanced timing analysis of your design, select the process <span style="font-weight: bold;">Analyze Post-Fit Static Timing</span> in <!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->iSE<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}-->. This will run <!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->Xilinx's<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}--> Timing Analyzer tool interactively. <!--kadov_tag{{<spaces>}}--> <!--kadov_tag{{</spaces>}}-->The Timing Analyzer provides a powerful, flexible, and easy way to perform static timing analysis on <!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->FPGA<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}--> and <!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->CPLD<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}--> designs. With Timing Analyzer, analysis can be performed immediately after mapping, placing or routing an <!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->FPGA<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}--> design, and after fitting and routing a <!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->CPLD<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}--> design. </p><p>Timing Analyzer verifies that the delay along a given path or paths meets specified timing requirements. It organizes and displays data that allows you to analyze critical paths in a circuit, the cycle time of the circuit, the delay along any specified <!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->path(s<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}-->), and the path with the greatest delay. It also provides a quick analysis of the effect different speed grades have on the same design. <!--kadov_tag{{<spaces>}}--> <!--kadov_tag{{</spaces>}}--></p><p>Timing Analyzer performs setup and hold checks (skew analysis). It works with synchronous systems composed of synchronous elements and combinatorial logic. In synchronous design, Timing Analyzer takes into account all path delays, including clock-to-out and setup requirements, while calculating the worst-case timing of the design. </p><p>Timing Analyzer creates timing analysis reports based on existing timing constraints or user specified paths within the program. Timing reports have a hierarchical browser to quickly jump to different sections of the reports. Timing paths in reports can be cross probed to synthesis tools (Exemplar and <!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->Synplicity<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}-->) and <!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->Floorplanner<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}-->. </p><p>There are several ways to issue commands in Timing Analyzer. Timing Analyzer can be controlled through <!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->GUI<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}--> features (menu commands) or its comprehensive macro command language facility. You can select from menus, click toolbar buttons, type keyboard commands in the console window, and run macros. </p><h1><a name=Definitions></a>Definitions</h1><h2><a name=tPD></a>Pad to Pad (<!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->tPD<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}-->) </h2><p>Reports pad to pad paths that start at input pads and end at output pads.

Combinatorial paths also trace through the enable inputs of 3-state controlled pads. Combinatorial paths are not traced through clock, and asynchronous set and reset inputs of registers. These paths are also broken at bidirectional pins</p><h2><a name=tCO></a>Clock Pad to Output Pad (<!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->tCO<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}-->) </h2><p>The maximum external clock pad to output pad delay. <!--kadov_tag{{<spaces>}}--> <!--kadov_tag{{</spaces>}}-->Reports paths that start at input <!--kadov_tag{{<spaces>}}--> <!--kadov_tag{{</spaces>}}-->pads trace through clock inputs of <!--kadov_tag{{<spaces>}}--> <!--kadov_tag{{</spaces>}}-->registers and end at output pads. Paths are not traced through PRE/<!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->CLR<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}--> <!--kadov_tag{{<spaces>}}--> <!--kadov_tag{{</spaces>}}-->inputs of registers. <!--kadov_tag{{<spaces>}}--> <!--kadov_tag{{</spaces>}}-->You can directly specify <!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->tCO<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}--> for all registered output paths in your design using the Pad-to-Pad <!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->timespec<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}-->. Clock-Pad-to-Pad paths for global clocks begin at global clock pads, propagate through global clock buffers, and propagate through the flip-flop <!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->Q<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}--> output and any number of levels of combinatorial logic and end at the output pad. Clock-Pad-to-Pad paths for product term clock paths begin at input pads, propagate through any number of logic levels feeding into a clock product term, propagate through the flip-flop <!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->Q<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}--> output and any number of levels of combinatorial logic and end at the output pad. Clock-Pad-to-Pad paths also trace through the enable inputs of 3-state controlled pads.</p><h2><a name=tSU></a>Setup to Clock at Pad (<!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->tSU<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}--> or <!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->tSUF<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}-->) </h2><p>Reports external setup time of data <!--kadov_tag{{<spaces>}}--> <!--kadov_tag{{</spaces>}}-->to clock at pad.

Each <!--kadov_tag{{<ignored>}}-->tSU<!--kadov_tag{{</ignored>}}--> OFFSET timespec involves an input path and a clock path. Input paths start at input pads, propagate through input buffers and any number of combinatorial logic levels before ending at a flip-flop D/T input, including the receiving flip-flop's tSU. <!--kadov_tag{{<spaces>}}--> <!--kadov_tag{{</spaces>}}-->Input paths are not traced through flip-flop clock pins, asynchronous set/reset inputs or bidirectional I/O pins. Global clock paths start at global clock pads, propagate through global clock buffers and end at the flip-flop clock pin. Product term clock paths start at input pads, propagate through a single level of logic implemented in a clock product term and end at the flip-flop clock pin.</p><h2><a name=tCYC></a>Clock to Setup (tCYC) </h2><p>Register to register cycle time. Includes source register tCO and destination register tSU. </p><p class=Note><span style="font-weight: bold;">Note</span> that when the computed Maximum Clock Speed is limited by tCYC, it is computed assuming that all registers are rising-edge sensitive. </p><h2><a name=fSYSTEM></a>fSYSTEM </h2><p>Maximum clock operating frequency. <!--kadov_tag{{<spaces>}}--> <!--kadov_tag{{</spaces>}}-->You can specify the fSYSTEM (clock frequency or period) for all registered paths in your design using a Register-to-Register timespec. Register-to-Register paths begin at flip-flop clock inputs, propagate through the flip-flop Q output and any number of levels of combinatorial logic and end at the receiving flip-flop D/T input, including the receiving flip-flop's tSU. When these flip-flops are clocked by the same clock, the delay on this path is equivalent to the cycle time of the clock. Registered paths do not propagate through clock, and asynchronous set and reset inputs of registers as shown below. These paths are also broken at bidirectional pins.</p><p> </p></body></html>⌨️ 快捷键说明
