set_clock_groups Constraint
set_clock_groups [-exclusive | -asynchronous ] -group {<clock>} [-group {<clock>} -group ...]
-exclusiveindicates a mutually exclusive clock-groupindicates a clock list-asynchronousspecifies asynchronous clocks
This command instructs the timing analyzer to not analyze paths between one or more
specified groups of clock domains in either direction. You can use this command with
netlist or virtual clocks in any combination. The set_clock_groups
constraint is equivalent to a set_false_path constraint between the
clocks in different groups. For example, the command
set_clock_groups -exclusive -group {clk} -group {clk2 clk3}
is equivalent to
set_false_path -from [get_clocks{clk}] -to [get_clocks{clk2 clk3}]
set_false_path -from [get_clocks{clk2 clk3}] -to [get_clocks{clk}]
If you specify only one clock group, it cuts all paths to and from the specified clock domain(s) to all others.
Note: If you do not specify either
-exclusive or
-asynchronous, the software defaults to
-exclusive.See Setting Constraints for Unrelated Clocks for examples.
