6.2 Defining a Clock PeriodIn the above example, no constraints were given and the SYNOPSYS DESIGN COMPILER synthesized the design with theminimum poss

Student Task 6: Using the report_timing command determine the timing information of the circuit. Which of thetimings illustrated in Figure 7 gets actu

6.4 Input and Output TimingIn the following part we will examine the effect of the input and the output timing.Input Timing: It is clear that the outp

6.5 Setting Input Drivers and Output LoadInput Drivers: In the next steps we want to investigate how the driver that drives the inputs of our circuit

Student Task 13: Now, redo the compilation with the constraints listed in Table 2. Furthermore, keep the previouslydetermined input- and output-delays

Be aware of the fact that the compilation steps will take longer and longer. The compiler has to push all its efforts to thelimit for increasing const
