Analyzing Timing

You use static timing analysis (STA) to measure the timing performance of your design. The software generates a timing report based on the design’s place and route results and the project’s SDC file. The software provides several tools for viewing and cross-probing timing results:

  • The Timing Browser helps you explore your design’s critical paths and the cells of those paths.
  • The Floorplan tool shows the locations of the paths and cells in the fabric.
  • The Tcl Console helps you analyze and explore timing.

After analyzing your design’s timing, you can update your SDC file if needed. To apply the new SDC settings to see how they affect placement and routing, re-run the flow from synthesis to the end.
