11 years ago --- Quote Start --- When I run timequest and report datasheet, I get negative values for t_h; i.e. Hold Times. Is this reasonable? For some synthesis, t_h is positive, when I change settings t_h becomes negative. Does it mean something is wrong? --- Quote End --- negative slack = failure You should not just play with settings to get a pass but rather set it to your io correctly. Your design is really too complicated for a beginner to get i right because your clk is opposite data direction and you have inserted a PLL with phase shift. I suggest you first remove the pll and compute your settings then if necessary add pll
