Description
Use the set_input_jitter
command to specify additional jitter for a specific primary clock.
Input jitter is the difference between successive clock edges due to variation from the ideal arrival times. This command sets the input jitter in nanoseconds (ns) for a specified primary clock, defined with the create_clock
command. Because the command accepts a single clock, the jitter for each primary clock must be set individually.
You can only use the set_input_jitter
command to specify input jitter on primary clocks. You cannot use the command to set input jitter on generated or auto derived clocks. Input jitter is propagated to generated clocks from the master clock, except for MMCM and PLL.
The input jitter is used in the calculation of discrete jitter, which is the amount of jitter introduced by hardware primitives such as MMCM or PLL. Discrete jitter is a feature of clocks generated by the MMCM. See set_clock_uncertainty
.
The set_input_jitter
command is ignored during synthesis.

commands.This command returns nothing if successful, or returns an error if it fails.
Arguments
-quiet
- (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
-verbose
- (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
set_msg_config
command.<clock> - (Required) The clock name of a primary clock, defined with the create_clock
command.
<input_jitter> - (Required) The input jitter for the specified clock object (value >= 0). The value is specified as nanoseconds (ns).
Examples
set_input_jitter
commands since the command only takes one clock as an argument:
set_input_jitter sysClk 0.3
set_input_jitter procClk 0.3
create_clock -period 10 -name sysClk [get_ports sysClk]
create_generated_clock -name sysClkDiv2 -source [get_ports sysClk] \
-divide_by 2 [get_pins clkgen/sysClkDiv/Q]
set_input_jitter sysClk 0.15
