The Pulse Width area of the Design Timing Summary shows results for all checks related to pin switching limits. These checks include the following:

  • Minimum low pulse width
  • Minimum high pulse width
  • Minimum period
  • Maximum period
  • Maximum skew (between clock pins of the same leaf cell, such as PCIe® or GT on AMD UltraScale™ devices)

The report provides the following values:

Worst Pulse Width Slack (WPWS)
The worst slack across all pulse width-related checks, using both min and max delays.
Total Pulse Width Slack (TPWS)
The sum of all WPWS violations, based on the worst violation per pin.
  • Value is 0 ns when all pulse width constraints are met
  • Value is negative when violations exist
Number of Failing Endpoints
The number of pins with WPWS violations (slack less than 0 ns).
Total Number of Endpoints
The total number of pins analyzed for pulse width checks.
