Chapter 4: Xilinx Constraints FROM-THRU-TO (From Thru To) Architecture Support Applicable Elements Propagation Rules The FROM-THRU-TO constraint: • Is an advanced timing constraint, • Is associated with the Period constraint of the high or low time. From synchronous paths, a FROM-TO-THRU constraint controls only the setup path, not the hold path. This constraint applies to a specific path that begins at a source group, passes through intermediate points, and ends at a destination group. The source and destination groups can be either user or predefined groups. You must define an intermediate path using TPTHRU before using THRU. Applies to FPGA devices. Does not apply to CPLD devices. Predefined and user-defined groups Applies to the specified FROM-THRU-TO path only. Syntax Examples The following examples show how to use this constraint with particular tools or methods. If a tool or method is not listed, you cannot use this constraint with it. UCF and NCF Syntax TIMESPEC “TSidentifier”=FROM “source_group” THRU “thru_pt1”...[THRU “thru_pt2” ...] TO “destination_group” value [Units] [DATAPATHONLY]; where • identifier can consist of characters or underbars • source_group and destination_group are user-defined or predefined groups • thru_pt1 and thru_pt2 are intermediate points to define specific paths for timing analysis • value is the delay time • units can be ps, ms, ns, or micro The DATAPATHONLY keyword indicates that the FROM-TO constraint does not take clock skew or phase information into consideration. This keyword results in only the data path between the groups being constrained and analyzed. TIMESPEC TS_MY_PathB = FROM “my_src_grp” THRU “my_thru_pt” TO “my_dst_grp” 13.5 ns DATAPATHONLY; FROM or TO is optional. You can have just a FROM or just a TO.

Chapter 4: Xilinx Constraints You are not required to have a FROM, THRU, or TO. You can have almost any combination, such as: • FROM-TO • FROM-THRU-TO • THRU-TO • TO • FROM • FROM-THRU-THRU-THRU-TO • FROM-THRU There is no restriction on the number of THRU points. The source, THRU points, and destination can be a net, bel, comp, macro, pin, or timegroup. Constraints Editor Syntax For information on setting constraints in Constraints Editor, including syntax, see the Constraints Editor Help. PlanAhead Syntax For more information about using the PlanAhead software to create constraints, see Floorplanning the Design in the PlanAhead User Guide (UG632). See PlanAhead in this Guide for information about: • Defining placement constraints • Assigning placement constraints • Defining I/O pin configurations • Floorplanning and placement constraints PCF Syntax TSname=MAXDELAY FROM TIMEGRP "source" THRU TIMEGRP "thru_pt1" ...THRU "thru_ptn" TO TIMEGRP "destination" [DATAPATHONLY]; You are not required to have a FROM, THRU, and TO. You can have almost any combination (such as FROM-TO, FROM-THRU-TO, THRU-TO, TO, FROM, FROM-THRU-THRU-THRU-TO, and FROM-THRU). There is no restriction on the number of THRU points. The source, THRU points, and destination can be a net, bel, comp, macro, pin, or timegroup. Constraints Guide UG625 (v. 13.2) July 6, 2011 www.xilinx.com 121
