No Hold Time Constrains Read In

archive
archive over 18 years ago

    Hi,

I have a sdc file in which defined the ports hold time and setup time like :
set_output_delay -clock [get_clocks {clk}]  -min 5 -add_delay [get_ports {mem_d}]  //for hold time
set_output_delay -clock [get_clocks {clk}]  -max .3 [get_ports {mem_d}]                  //for setup time

but when i run the nano encounter, I get the message:
No Hold Time Constrains Read In.
As It appear the encounter read setup time and do setup fix, but it doesn't read the hold constrain.
I also tried to change the -min value but I got similar results for hold WNS(which shows the tool didn't respect the hold time)

Can anyone help on this.

Thanks,

Houman

    I didn't get a chance to test but you either need to change the order of the constraints or need to remove the -add_delay as the constraint are not for the same timing type. The -add_delay is typically for associating a timing with a second clock.
