timer_set_maxdelay

Adds a maximum delay constraint to the specified path.

 

timer_set_maxdelay -from source_pin \

-to destination_pin \

[-unit {value}] -delay delay_value

Arguments

-from source_pin

Specifies the name of the source pin in the path.

 

-to destination_pin

Specifies the name of the destination pin in the path.

 

-unit {value}

Specifies whether the delay unit is in nanoseconds or picoseconds. The following table shows the acceptable values for this argument:
