The Pulse Width area of the Design Timing Summary section displays all checks related to pin switching limits:

  • Min low pulse width
  • Min high pulse width
  • Min period
  • Max period
  • Max skew (between two clock pins of a same leaf cell, such as for PCIe or GT [UltraScaleā„¢ devices only]).

The reported values are:

  • Worst Pulse Width Slack (WPWS): Corresponds to the worst slack of all the timing checks listed above when using both min and max delays.
  • Total Pulse Width Slack (TPWS): The sum of all WPWS violations, when considering only the worst violation of each pin in the design. Its value is:
    • 0 ns when all related constraints are met.
    • Negative when there are some violations.
  • Number of Failing Endpoints: The total number of pins with a violation (WPWS< 0 ns).
  • Total Number of Endpoints: The total number of endpoints analyzed.
