report_datasheet
Usage
report_datasheet [-append] [-expand_bus] [-file <name>] [-panel_name <name>] [-stdout]
Options
-append: If output is sent to a file, this option appends the result to that file.
Otherwise, the file will be overwritten
-expand_bus: If set, bus is reported as individual ports
-file <name>: Sends the results to an ASCII or HTML file. Depending on the extension
-panel_name <name>: Sends the results to the panel and specifies the name of the new
panel
-stdout: Send output to stdout, via messages. You only need to use this option if you
have selected another output format, such as a file, and would also like to receive
messages.
Description
This function creates a datasheet report which summarizes the timing characteristics of the design as a
whole. It reports setup (tsu), hold (th), clock-to-output (tco), minimum clock-to-output (mintco),
propagation delay (tpd), and minimum propagation delay (mintpd) times. These delays are reported for
each clock or port for which they are relevant. If there is a case where there are multiple paths for a clock
(for example if there are multiplexed clocks), then the maximum delay is reported for the tsu, th, tco and
tpd, and the minimum delay is reported for mintco and mintpd.
The datasheet can be outputed to the Tcl console ("-stdout", default), a file ("-file"), or a report panel
("-panel_name"). Additionally if the "-file" option is used then the "-append" option can be used to specify
that new data should be written to the end of the specified file.
