The Hold area of the Design Timing Summary section displays all checks related to min delay analysis: hold, removal, and data check.

  • Worst Hold Slack (WHS): Corresponds to the worst slack of all the timing paths for min delay analysis. It can be positive or negative.
  • Total Hold Slack (THS): The sum of all WHS violations, when considering only the worst violation of each timing path endpoint. Its value is:
    • 0 ns when all timing constraints are met for min delay analysis.
    • Negative when there are some violations.
  • Number of Failing Endpoints: The total number of endpoints with a violation (WHS < 0 ns).
  • Total Number of Endpoints: The total number of endpoints analyzed.
