Title
Minimum input delay is greater than maximum input delay
Description
Minimum input delay is greater than maximum input delay
Question:
For input ports how can I specify a minimum input delay that is greater
than the maximum input delay?
Answer:
By default if the minimum delay specified on an input port is greater
than the maximum delay specified on the port, Design Compiler
uses which ever value was last applied. The following example
shows how Design Compiler handles this type of situation:
dc_shell-t> set_input_delay -clock clk -min 2 in
dc_shell-t> set_input_delay -clock clk -max 1 in
Design Compiler will take 1 library time units as the input delay
for both minimum (hold) and maximum (setup) analysis.
You can verify this reaction by giving report_port -verbose
dc_shell-t > report_port -verbose in
.....

If the constraints were applied in reverse order i.e
dc_shell-t> set_input_delay -clock clk -max 1 in
dc_shell-t> set_input_delay -clock clk -min 2 in
If the constraints were applied in reverse order,
dc_shell-t> set_input_delay -clock clk -max 1 in
dc_shell-t> set_input_delay -clock clk -min 2 in
Design Compiler uses two library time units as the input
delay for minimum (hold) and maximum (setup) analysis.

To control this reaction, use the variable
allow_input_delay_min_greater_than_max
The default value of this variable is false. Setting this variable to
true will allow minimum input delay greater than maximum input delay to be
set independently of the command order.
