# The "#" symbol is a comment character.   To use this sample file, find the
# specification necessary, remove the comment character (#) from the beginning 
# of the line, and modify the line (if necessary) to fit your design.
#
#              TIMING SPECIFICATIONS 
# 
# Timing specifications can be applied to the entire device (global) or to 
# specific groups in your design (called "time groups'). The time groups are 
# declared in two basic ways. 
# 
# Method 1: Based on a net name, where 'my_net' is a net that touches all the 
#           logic to be grouped in to 'logic_grp'. Example: 
#NET my_net TNM_NET = logic_grp ; 
# 
# Method 2: Group using the key word 'TIMEGRP' and declare using the names of 
#           logic in your design. Example: 
#TIMEGRP group_name = FFS ("U1/*"); 
#           creates a group called 'group_name' for all flip-flops within 
#           the hierarchical block called U1. Wildcards are valid. 
# 
# Grouping is very important because it lets you tell the software which parts 
# of a design run at which speeds.  For the majority of the designs with only 
# one clock, use simple global constraints. 
# 
# The type of grouping constraint you use can vary depending on the synthesis 
# tools you are using.  Foundation Express does better with Method 2.

# FROM:TO style timespecs can be used to constrain paths between time 
# groups.  NOTE:  Keywords:  RAMS, FFS, PADS, and LATCHES are predefined 
# time groups used to specify all elements of each type in a design.

# TIMING IGNORE 
# ------------- 
# If you can ignore timing of paths, use Timing Ignore (TIG). NOTE: The 
# "*" character is a wild card, which can be used for bus names.  A "?" 
# character can be used to wild-card one character. 
# Ignore timing of net reset_n: 
#NET : reset_n : TIG ; 
# 
# Ignore data_reg(7:0) net in instance mux_mem: 
#NET : mux_mem/data_reg* : TIG ; 
# 
# Ignore data_reg(7:0) net in instance mux_mem as related to a TIMESPEC 
# named TS01 only: 
#NET : mux_mem/data_reg* : TIG = TS01 ; 
# 
# Ignore data1_sig and data2_sig nets: 
#NET : data?_sig : TIG ; 
# 
# --------------- 
# PATH EXCEPTIONS 
# --------------- 
# If your design has outputs that can be slower than others, you can 
# create specific timespecs similar to this example for output nets 
# named out_data(7:0) and irq_n: 
#TIMEGRP slow_outs = PADS(out_data* : irq_n) ; 
#TIMEGRP fast_outs = PADS : EXCEPT : slow_outs ; 
#TIMESPEC TS08 = FROM : FFS : TO : fast_outs : 22 ; 
#TIMESPEC TS09 = FROM : FFS : TO : slow_outs : 75 ; 
# 
# If you have multi-cycle FF to FF paths, you can create a time group 
# using either the TIMEGRP or TNM statements. 
# 
# WARNING:  Many VHDL/Verilog synthesizers do not predictably name flip 
# flop Q output nets.  Most synthesizers do assign predictable instance 
# names to flip flops, however. 
# 
# TIMEGRP example: 
#TIMEGRP slowffs = FFS(inst_path/ff_q_output_net1* : 
#inst_path/ff_q_output_net2*); 
# 
# TNM attached to instance example: 
#INST inst_path/ff_instance_name1_reg* TNM = slowffs ; 
#INST inst_path/ff_instance_name2_reg* TNM = slowffs ; 
# 
# If a FF clock-enable is used on all flip flops of a multi-cycle path, 
# you can attach TNM to the clock enable net.  NOTE:  TNM attached to a 
# net "forward traces" to any FF, LATCH, RAM, or PAD attached to the 
# net. 
#NET ff_clock_enable_net TNM = slowffs ; 
# 
# Example of using "slowffs" timegroup, in a FROM:TO timespec, with 
# either of the three timegroup methods shown above: 
#TIMESPEC TS10 = FROM : slowffs : TO : FFS : 100 ; 
# 
# Constrain the skew or delay associate with a net. 
#NET any_net_name MAXSKEW = 7 ; 
#NET any_net_name MAXDELAY = 20 ns; 
# 
# 
# Constraint priority in your .ucf file is as follows: 
# 
#    highest 1.  Timing Ignore (TIG) 
#            2.  FROM : THRU : TO specs 
#            3.  FROM : TO specs 
#    lowest  4.  PERIOD specs
