Overview
- Provides a hands-on guide to create constraints for synthesis and timing analysis, using Synopsys Design Constraints (SDC), the industry-leading format for specifying constraints
- Explains fundamental concepts around SDC constraints and its application in a design
- Explains SDC command syntax, semantics and options
- Includes key topics of interest to a synthesis, static timing analysis or place and route engineer
- Explains which constraints command to use for ease of maintenance and reuse, given several options possible to achieve the same effect on timing
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
