Using the -add_delay switch
Hello,
I'm setting an output delays on DDR interface for a signal named "valid" relative to a clock named "clock" as follows:
set_output_delay -clock clock -max -0.9 [get_ports {valid}]
set_output_delay -clock clock -min -2.7 [get_ports {valid}]
set_output_delay -clock clock -clock_fall -max -0.9 [get_ports {valid}] -add_delay
set_output_delay -clock clock -clock_fall -min -2.7 [get_ports {valid}] -add_delay
As far as I understand - a port can have only one -max and one -min delay assinged to it. If more then one is used, the first will be overwritten - UNLESS -add_delay is used.
This is why -add_delay was added when setting the relationship for the falling edge of edge of the clock.
Is this correct ?
Or should I use -add_delay also for the first set ? As follows :
set_output_delay -clock clock -max -0.9 [get_ports {valid}] -add_delay
set_output_delay -clock clock -min -2.7 [get_ports {valid}] -add_delay
set_output_delay -clock clock -clock_fall -max -0.9 [get_ports {valid}] -add_delay
set_output_delay -clock clock -clock_fall -min -2.7 [get_ports {valid}] -add_delay
