Why does TimeQuest report recovery and removal violations for the asynchronous reset paths when compiling the XAUI PHY IP core?

Environment

  • Reset
  • BUILT IN - ARTICLE INTRO SECOND COMPONENT
    Description

    Due to a problem in the XAUI PHY IP core, the embedded Synopsys Design Constraint (SDC) is missing a false path for the paths from tx_reset_n to reset_tx_clk_n_meta/reset_tx_clk_n

     

    In the XAUI PHY IP core, tx_reset_n node is synchronized to a new clock domain through two registers: reset_tx_clk_n_meta and reset_tx_clk_n and is thus a false path.

    Resolution

    You can ignore the recovery/removal path violations reported by TimeQuest.  Alternatively you can apply a set_false_path constraint on these paths in your SDC file.
