Problem Title:
M1.5i/2.1i: Timing Analyser cannot be used to analyse a path through the asych PRE/CLR of an XC9500 FDCP



Problem Description:


an FDCP in the XC9500 family cannot be analysed using the timing
analyser. The path up to the preset or clear *is* measurable, but not
the path through the flop from the pre/clr to the output.


Solution 1:

The path delay may be calculated manually using the XC9500 timing
model:

tin + tptsr + t aoi + tout

This would be from a pad, through a buffer to the preset/clear, through
the flop, through the output buffer and to the opad.
