1. Timing Analysis Introduction

Comprehensive timing analysis of your design allows you to validate circuit performance, identify timing violations, and drive the Fitter's placement of logic to meet your timing goals. The Quartus® Prime Timing Analyzer uses industry-standard constraint and analysis methodology to report on all data required times, data arrival times, and clock arrival times for all register-to-register, I/O, and asynchronous reset paths in your design.

The Timing Analyzer verifies that your design meets all required timing relationships to correctly function, and confirms actual signal arrival times against the constraints that you specify. This user guide provides an introduction to basic timing analysis concepts, along with step-by-step instructions for using the Quartus® Prime Timing Analyzer.
