15 years agoAsynchronous signals that are input to the FPGA feeding synchronizers are typically constrained with false path statements in SDC. Less commonly, one could constrain them with set_multicycle_path constraints instead. If you were coming from the Xilinx world and are used to their methodology, then you could use set_max_delay constraints between the rising edge of the clocks. As I said though, most people cut the path with set_false_path statements. If you are concerned about the metastability issue, this can also be analyzed in Quartus II software.
