6 years agoLooping back a clock to its source
Hello, Port 'X' is an FPGA clock pin. It's defined using a "create_clock" SDC command. I have a requirement to drive this clock to an input port 'Y' like this: Y <= X ; I want the delay between ...

6 years agoHi,
You cannot control the clock delay using SDC constraints. You may use different clock structure for your design. This includes global clock networks, regional clock networks, fast regional clock networks, and periphery clock networks. In general, fast regional clocks have less delay to I/O elements than regional and global clocks, and are used for high fan-out control signals. Regional clocks provide the lowest clock delay and skew for logic contained in a single quadrant. Placing clocks on these low-skew and low-delay clock nets provides better tCO performance.
Thanks.
Best regards,
