Understanding the timing violation report

The timing violation report contains the following sections:

Header

The header lists:

• The report type

• The version of Designer used to generate the report

• The date and time the report was generated

• General design information (name, family, etc.)

Paths

The paths section lists the timing information for the violated paths in the design.

The number of paths displayed is controlled by two parameters:

• A maximum slack threshold to report

• A maximum number or path to report

By default, the slack threshold is 0 and the number of paths is limited. The default maximum number of paths reported is 100.

All clocks domains are mixed in this report. The paths are listed by decreasing slack.

You can also choose to expand one or more paths. By default, no paths are expanded. For details, see the timing violation report options.
