The Timing Constraints wizard does not recognize some valid CDC topologies that do not use simple synchronizers. The report_cdc command offers a powerful and more comprehensive view of CDC paths that need structural correction to become safe. For detailed information about report_cdc, refer to the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Design Analysis and Closure Techniques (UG906)

When the wizard does not recommend a constraint because a set_max_delay -datapath_only exists, review the remaining CDC paths that are normally timed. Use additional false path constraints to ignore these paths if needed. Create point-to-point false path constraints in the XDC file, in the Tcl Console, or in the Timing Constraints window after exiting the wizard.
