Timing Constraints II v1.5i

Software & Version: 
Foundation 1.5I and Alliance 1.5i

Audience
Audience has no FPGA experience, but has completed the Timing Constraints I module.

Prerequisites
Audience needs to understand basic FPGA architecture and completed the Timing Constraints I module.

What is the level of the material?
Level II  - Intermediate

Training Duration
1 hour

Content Description
This module focuses on placing path specific timing constraints on an FPGA design using the Constraints Editor.  Applications such as grouping logic, constraining multi-clock domains, and grouping Offset In/Out constraints are covered.

Objectives
After completing this training, student will be able to:

  • Apply path specific timing constraints to specific design applications.
  • Specify path specific timing requirements with the Constraints Editor.
