The timing path report gives you the information needed to understand what causes a timing violation. The following sections describe the components of the timing path report.
The Timing Path Summary displays the most important information from the timing path details. You can review it to identify the cause of a violation without analyzing every detail of the path. The summary includes slack, path requirement, datapath delay, cell delay, route delay, clock skew, and clock uncertainty. It does not include any information about cell placement.
For more details on timing constraint terminology, timing analysis concepts, and how the tool determines slack and path requirements, refer to Timing Analysis Key Concepts.
