net_critical_ports

Defines a subset of critical ports on a net. The resulting netlist contains a buffer in the origin net, together with the critical ports. The inserted buffer drives the remaining connections on the original net.

 

net_critical__ports hier_net_name instance_port_name [ , instance_port_name ];

Arguments

hier_net_name

Specifies the name of the hierarchical net(s).

 

instance_port_name

Specifies the name of the ports on the net(s).

Supported Families

Exceptions

Examples

The following example identifies two inputs of the net /u1/u2/net1 that are more critical than all other connections on that net. All other connections on the net will be buffered with a BUF cell that will be placed in a tile to reduce fanout delay on the specified inputs:

 

net_critical_ports /u1/u2/net1 nandbk1.A sigproc.C;
