Honored Contributor --- Quote Start --- Do you have the Fitter option to "Optimize Hold Timing" for "All Paths" turned on? If so, then you may need to over-constrain the failing Hold paths with a set_min_delay constraint. --- Quote End --- Hi, when I firstly compiled, I already had the Fitter option to "Optimize Hold Timing" for "All Paths" turned on. But after I read your post, I realized that my hold time violated is only happening in Fast 0C mode, so I turn on another Fitter option is "Optimize multi-corner timing". Then after I fully complied it again, the hold violated disappear. Should I use that option? Thanks.
