Problem Title:
M1.5: Timing Analysis reports 0 items analyzed for IOB flops, IFD, OFD


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description: When a design contains flops in the IOB, the timing analysis tools do not evalu ate those flops. For example, say you have the following setup:

IPAD--input--IFD--FD--FD--OFD--output--OPAD

You have the following constraints

TIMESPEC TS_01 = FROM PADS(input) TO FFS 20ns;
TIMESPEC TS_02 = FROM FFS TO FFS 20ns;
TIMESPEC TS_03 = FROM FFS TO PADS(output) 20ns;

OFFSET = IN 22ns BEFORE CLK;

TRCE/Timing Analyzer will report 0 items analyzed for TS_01, TS_03, and OFFSET.


Solution 1:

These are not reported because they are Data Book guaranteed values. Refer to
the Data book for the full, partial and no delay values.
