Arguments | -h | -help | Short help | |
-long_help | Long help with examples and possible return values | ||
-cell_delay | Specifies that derating factors are only to apply to cell delays | ||
-early | Specifies the minimum derating factor. This factor specifies how early the signal can arrive | ||
-late | Specifies the maximum derating factor. This factor specifies how late the signal can arrive | ||
-net_delay | Specifies that derating factors are only to apply to net delays | ||

<derate_value> | Timing derate value | ||
<cells> | List of cell type objects | ||
Description | Sets the global derate factors for the current design. The maxmimum and minimum delays of all timing arcs in the design are multiplied by the factors specified with the -late and -early options respectively. Only positive derate factors are allowed. If neither the -cell_delay nor -net_delay option is used, the derating factors apply to both cell and net delays. For net delay derates, the derate factor is applied to nets driven by matching cells. Specifying a derate value of less than 1.0 for the -late option or a derate value of greater than 1.0 for the -early option reduces delay pessimisim, which might lead to optimistic results from timing analysis. The effect of set_timing_derate command is deferred until the next time update_timing_netlist is called. To reset derate factors to original values, use the reset_timing_derate command. This assignment is for timing analysis only, and is not considered during timing-driven compilation. |
