- The launch edge is the active edge of the source clock that launches the data.
- The capture edge is the active edge on the destination clock that captures the data.
- The source clock is also referred to as the launch clock.
- The destination clock is also referred to as the capture clock.
- The setup requirement is the relationship between the launch edge and the capture edge that defines the most restrictive setup constraint.
- The setup relationship is the setup check verified by the timing analysis tool.
- The hold requirement is the relationship between the launch edge and capture edge that defines the most restrictive hold constraint.
- The hold relationship is the hold check verified by the timing analysis tool.
