Description
Reports the pulse width of the specified clock signals in the clock network and upon reaching the flip-flop. This command also performs high pulse width checking, using maximum delay for the rising edge and minimum delay for the falling edge of the clock. Performs low pulse width checking using minimum delay for the rising edge, and maximum delay for the falling edge. This results in a worst case analysis for the current Synthesis or Implemented Design because it assumes worst-case delays for both rising and falling edges. This command also reports the maximum skew, or maximum timing separation allowed between clock signals.
The report includes minimum pulse width, maximum pulse width, low pulse width, high pulse width, and max skew checks by default. However, selecting a specific check will disable the other checks unless they are also specified.
The default report is returned to the standard output, but can be redirected to a file, or to a Tcl string variable for further processing. The report is returned to the standard output by default, unless the -file, -return_string, or -name arguments are specified.
Arguments
-file <arg> - (Optional) Write the report into the specified file. If the specified file already exists, it will be overwritten by the new report, unless the -append option is also specified.
-append - (Optional) Append the output of the command to the specified file rather than overwriting it.
-append option can only be used with the -file option.
-name <arg> - (Optional) Specifies the name of the results set for the GUI. Pulse Width reports in the GUI can be deleted by the delete_timing_results command.
-return_string - (Optional) Directs the output to a Tcl string rather than to the standard output. The Tcl string can be captured by a variable definition and parsed or otherwise processed.
-file option.
-warn_on_violation - (Optional) Specify that a Critical Warning will be generated by the Vivado Design Suite when the report contains a violation.
-all_violators - (Optional) Report only the <objects> where violations are found.
-significant_digits <arg> - (Optional) The number of significant digits in the output results. The valid range is 0 to 3. The default setting is 2 significant digits.
-limit <arg> - (Optional) The number of checks of a particular type to report per clock. This is a value >= 1, and the default is 1.
-min_period - (Optional) Report minimum period checks.
-max_period - (Optional) Report maximum period checks.
-low_pulse - (Optional) Report minimum low pulse width checks.
-high_pulse - (Optional) Report minimum high pulse width checks.
-max_skew - (Optional) Check the skew constraints between two clock pins.
report_pulse_width command is to
report min_period, max_period,
low_pulse, high_pulse, and
max_skew. Specifying one or more of these options
configures the command to only report the specified checks.
-clocks <arg> - (Optional) Clocks to report pulse width and period checks. All clocks are checked if the -clocks option is not specified.
-no_header - (Optional) Eliminate the report header from the results. This can be especially useful when returning the results as a string with -return_string.
-cells <arg> - (Option) Generate the report for the specified hierarchical cells. The details of the report will be based on the specified cells rather than the whole design.
-rpx <arg> - (Optional) Specify the file name and path of an Xilinx report file (RPX) to write. This is different from writing the report results to a file using the -file argument. The RPX file is an interactive report that contains all the report information and can be reloaded into memory in the Vivado Design Suite using the open_report command. You should add a .rpx file extension to the specified file name, as the Vivado tool will not automatically assign a file extension.
-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.
<objects> - (Optional) The pin objects to report the pulse width from. All pins are checked if no <objects> are specified.
