tsu Requirement timing assignment


Specifies the maximum acceptable clock setup time (tSU) for the input (data) pin. The setup time is the length of time that data that feeds a register via its data or enable input(s) must be present at an input pin before the clock signal that clocks the register is asserted at the clock pin. 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 tsu Requirement assignment may increase the time necessary for timing-driven compilation.

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

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

Affects the specified pin to register paths controlled by any clock(s).
2

Point-to-point assignment from clock to register.

Affects any pin to register paths controlled by the clock.
2 Point-to-point assignment from clock to input or bidirectional pin. Affects the specified pin to any register path controlled by the clock.
3 Single point assignment to a register. Affects the register and any pin(s) or clock(s) feeding the register.
3 Single point assignment to an input or bidirectional pin.

Affects the pin and any register(s) fed by the pin and any clock(s) feeding the register.

4 Single point assignment to a clock. Affects any registers fed by the clock.
5 Global All remaining paths.
