See object(2) for describing path groups. _d_e_l_a_y__v_a_l_u_e Value for the maximum delay constraint in nanoseconds. DESCRIPTION This command sets the maximum path delay constraint for a path group in the current chip. The path delay for a path group is the maximum delay allowed from any point in the starting timing group to any point in the ending timing group. The static timing analyzer will use this value to derive the required times and slack for all elements in the ending timing group. EXAMPLES This command sets the maximum delay for the path group named "(RC,CLOCK):(RC,CLOCK)" to 50 nanoseconds. fe_shell > set_max_delay -path_group (RC,CLOCK):(RC,CLOCK) 50 SEE ALSO object(2),current_chip(2), v3.0 Synopsys Inc. 1988-1998.
