You can view the Report CDC details in the CDC Details section of the report. Use this section to:
- Open the schematic of a selected path by pressing F4.
- View an existing timing report.
- Generate a new timing report by right-clicking the entry.
Use the CDC Details to investigate unexpected CDC paths, find missing or incorrect timing
exceptions, and locate synchronizers missing the ASYNC_REG
property.
An example is shown in the following figure.

Important: The CDC report might flag issues in some AMD intellectual
properties (IPs) because the CDC engine does not recognize all possible CDC topologies
and does not offer a built-in waiver mechanism. For more information, refer to the
corresponding AMD IP Product Guide.
