Check Timing Command

no_clock

Verifies that ports or registers determined to be clocks have a clock assigned to them, and reports the number of registers that do not have at least one clock driving the clock pin.

multiple_clock

Reports the number of registers that have more than one clock signal driving the clock pin.

pos_neg_clock_domain

Reports the number of registers clocked by both the rising and falling edges of the same clock.

generated_clock

Reports the number of valid generated clocks. Generated clocks must have a source that is clocked by a valid source clock. Also, the generated clock and the source clock must not depend on each other in a loop (that is, clk1 cannot have clk2 as a source if clk2 already uses clk1 as a source).

virtual_clock

Reports the number of virtual clocks that are not referenced by the set_input_delay and set_output_delay Synopsys^® Design Constraints (SDC) commands, meaning that they are unused.

no_input_delay

Reports the number of input ports that are not determined to be clocks and do not have an input delay constraint.

no_output_delay

Reports the number of output ports that do not have an output delay constraint.

partial_input_delay

Reports the number of input delays that are not complete but include one or more of the following:rise-min, fall-min, rise-max, or fall-max.

partial_output_delay

Reports the number of output delays that are not complete but include one or more of the following: rise-min, fall-min, rise-max, or fall-max.

io_min_max_delay_consistency

Verifies and reports whether or not min delay values specified by set_input_delay or set_output_delay assignments are less than max delay

values.

reference_pin

Reports the number of invalid reference pins specified in the set_input_delay and set_output_delay SDC commands that use the - reference_pin option. A reference pin is valid if the -clock option specified in the same set_input_delay or set_output_delay command matches the clock that is in the direct fan-in of the reference pin. To be considered part of the direct fan-in of the reference pin, there must be no keepers or clocks between the clock and reference pin.

generated_io_delay

Reports the number of instances of set_input_delay or set_output_delay SDC commands where the -clock option is internally generated, and the command does not use the - reference_pin or -source_latency_included options.

latency_override

Reports the number of occurrences where clock latency set on a port or pin overrides the more clock latency set on a clock. You can set clock latency on a clock, where the latency applies to all keepers clocked by the clock. You can also set clock latency on a port or pin, where the latency applies to registers in the fan-out of the port or pin.

partial_multicycle

Reports the number of setup multicycle assignments where there are not corresponding explicitly-set hold multicycle assignments.

multicycle_consistency

Reports all the multicycle cases where a setup multicycle assignment does not equal one greater than the corresponding hold multicycle assignment. Hold multicycle assignments are typically one cycle less than setup multicycle assignments.

loops

Reports the number of strongly connected components in the timing netlist. These loops prevent the Timing Analyzer from properly analyzing a design. Provides a warning if loops exist that are marked so they are not traversed.

latches

Reports the number of latches in the design, and provides a warning if any exist. The Timing Analyzer cannot properly analyze latches.

pll_cross_check

Reports the number of clocks assigned to a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) Definition based on the PLL settings defined in the design file. This check reports inconsistent settings or an unmatched number of clocks associated with the PLL.

uncertainty

Reports the number of clock transfers in the design where the set_clock_uncertainty constraint is not set between the two clocks. This report also checks if the set_clock_uncertainty constraints you made have less than recommended clock uncertainty values.

partial_min_max_delay

Verifies that each minimum or maximum delay assignment has a corresponding maximum or minimum delay assignment.

clock_assignments_on_output_ports

Reports all clock assignments applied to output ports.

input_delay_assigned_to_clock

Verifies that no input delay value is set for a clock. Input delays set on clock ports are ignored because clock-as-data analysis takes precedence.
