set_max_fanout NUMBER net_name_wildcard;

Arguments

NUMBER net_name_wildcard

Specifies the maximum fan-out limit on the specified net(s) during optimization.

Supported Families

ProASIC PLUS and ProASIC

Description

The set_max_fanout constraint is optimized to accept individual net names. If you specify a net name, the set_max_fanout constraint applies only to the named net or nets and not to the entire design.

The buffers and inverters are not removed if the fan-out for the given net exceeds the given limit. If no net name is given, then the command is applied to all the nets in the design. The net name can be a simple net or a name having wildcard characters.

Exceptions

None
