false path?

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

I've got an internally generated page signal which changes state every few thousand clocks and the timing isn't particularly important. Am I best to treat this as a false path or use some form of multicycle constrain in TimeQuest.  If it's the latter please could you state which multi-cycle exception I should use as it is really confusing - I will read up in the mean time.  Thanks, D.

If the timing doesn't matter at all, use a set_false_path exception. 

 If it's an asynchronous signal and your synchronizing logic assumes a maximum propagation delay, use set_max_delay.  In my opinion, set_multicycle_path exceptions should be used only for synchronous signals for which the setup and/or hold relationship needs to be changed by a certain number of clock cycles.

Thanks. 

 set_false_path is what I need.
