Cut Timing Path timing assignment


Causes the Timing Analyzer to exclude certain paths from the timing analysis. The following table prioritizes each legal assignment type, and shows which paths are affected when assigned. Priority 1 assignments take precedence over priority 2 assignments, and so on. Within a priority level, the most stringent requirement takes precedence. Specifying a point-to-point Cut Timing Path assignment may increase the time necessary for timing-driven compilation.

Priority Level Assignment Type/Location Affected Path(s)
1

Point-to-point assignment from register to register.

Point-to-point assignment from input or bidirectional pin to register.

Point-to-point assignment from register to output or bidirectional pin.

Point-to-point assignment from pin to pin.

Ignores all paths originating from the source node and feeding the destination node.
2 Single point assignment to any input pin, output pin, or internal register. Ignores all fan-outs of an assigned input pin or internal register. Ignores all fan-ins of an assigned output pin.
3

Point-to-point assignment from clock to clock

Excludes the clock path from multiclock analysis.

Entity Settings File (.esf) timing assignment for single-point assignments use the following syntax:

<name>: CUT = (ON|OFF|)

Entity Settings File (.esf) timing assignment for point-to-point assignments use the following syntax:

<source name>- <destination name>: CUT = (ON|OFF|)
