A.1. Specifying Timing Analyzer Constraints

To ensure your design meets timing and other requirements, you must constrain the design. This section provides the necessary steps to properly constrain your SDI design using the TimeQuest timing analyzer.
  1. Make sure that TimeQuest is specified as the default timing analyzer in the Timing Analysis Settings page of the Settings dialog box.
  2. Compile to create an initial design database before you specify timing constraints for your design. On the Processing menu, click Start Compilation.
    A message indicates when compilation is complete.
  3. On the Tools menu, click TimeQuest Timing Analyzer.
  4. Create timing netlist, double-click Create Timing Netlist in the Tasks pane.
    The timing netlist appears in the Report pane.
  5. Specify timing constraints and exceptions. To enter your timing requirements, you can use constraint entry dialog boxes or edit the previously created .sdc file.
  6. To save your constraints in an .sdc file, on the Constraints menu, click Write SDC File.
Figure 37. Constraints Design FlowThe figure below shows the flow of the constraint design.
