15 years agoHi John,
The equations you given has nothing to do with the designer's perspective. It is purely about internal fpga timing of registers. You only need to enter fmax. It is up to the tool to get get them right. very few people take risk at floor planning to play with delays. However, at fpga input registers(under the mercy of incoming signal from external device) and at the registers of an external device under the mercy of fpga signal, it is your task to get tSU & tH timing right. The same above equations apply but with the delay being board delay plus what fpga puts between pins and registers.
