¡°FROM-TO¡± Constraints (2)
GLOBAL ¡°FROM-TO¡± constraints may apply to all paths of a certain type using keywords or pre-defined groups
TIMESPEC TS03 = FROM PADS TO FFS18 ns;
Legal keywords (pre-defined groups) are PADS, FFS, LATCHES, and RAMS
Recommendation for best run-time:
- Use Period and OFFSET for global constraints
- Use ¡°FROM-TO¡± type for blocks or paths within the design
Exception:
- OFFSET may only be defined in a UCF file
- ¡°FROM-TO¡± constraints may be defined in schematics
