Families Supported

The following table shows which families support this constraint and which file formats and tools you can use to enter or modify it:

Purpose

Use this constraint to assign regular nets to quadrant clock routing. This results in the creation of a QuadrantClock region that spans the area of the quadrant clock net.

If there are enough quadrant clock resources but not enough global clock routing resources available in a device, you can promote regular nets that have high fan-out to the dedicated quadrant clock routing resources which can lead to better performance for your design.

Tools /How to Enter

You can use one or more of the following commands or GUI tools to assign a net to a local clock:

• PDC - assign_quadrant_clock

• ChipPlanner - Creating QuadrantClock regions
