Looping back a clock to its source

[SKon1]

Hello,

Port 'X' is an FPGA clock pin.

It's defined using a "create_clock" SDC command.

I have a requirement to drive this clock to an input port 'Y' like this:

Y <= X ;

I want the delay between X and Y to be as little as possible.

What constraint do you advice to use ?

Hi,

May I know what is Y? Is it a clock pin for core register or clock pin for some IP?

Thanks.

Best regards,

Y is an FPGA pin that sends the clock (X) to another ASIC.

Hi,

You cannot control the clock delay using SDC constraints. You may use different clock structure for your design. This includes global clock networks, regional clock networks, fast regional clock networks, and periphery clock networks. In general, fast regional clocks have less delay to I/O elements than regional and global clocks, and are used for high fan-out control signals. Regional clocks provide the lowest clock delay and skew for logic contained in a single quadrant. Placing clocks on these low-skew and low-delay clock nets provides better tCO performance.

Thanks.

Hi,

Do you have any updates?

Thanks.
