Timing Model<br />

Constraint Priority<br />

Chapter 1: Constraint Types<br />

The timing model used by XST for timing analysis takes into account both logic delays<br />

and net delays. These delays are highly dependent on the speed grade that can be<br />

specified to XST. These delays are also dependent on the selected technology. Logic<br />

delays data are identical to the delays reported by TRACE (Timing Analyzer) after Place<br />

and Route). The Net delay model is estimated based on the fanout load.<br />

<strong>Constraints</strong> are processed in the following order:<br />

• Specific constraints on signals<br />

• Specific constraints on top module<br />

• Global constraints on top module<br />

Configuration <strong>Constraints</strong><br />

For example, constraints on two different domains or two different signals have the<br />

same priority (that is, PERIOD clk1 can be applied with PERIOD clk2).<br />

• Configuration Mode (CONFIG_MODE)<br />

• DCI_CASCADE<br />

• MCB_PERFORMANCE<br />

• Stepping (STEPPING)<br />

• POST_CRC<br />

• POST_CRC_ACTION<br />

• POST_CRC_FREQ<br />

• POST_CRC_INIT_FLAG<br />

• VCCAUX<br />

• VREF<br />

• Internal Vref Bank<br />
