摘要
A system and method of designing an integrated circuit capable of deriving timing constraints for individual block-level circuits of an integrated circuit that are derived from the chip-level timing constraints and analysis. The block-level timing constraints are in the form of one or more logical timing constraint points at the input and output ports of block-level circuits. Each logical timing constraint points specifies a clock source used to clock data through the port, a delay parameter specifying data propagation delay backward from an input port and forward from an output port, and any timing exception associated with the data path. Using the logical timing constraint point, the circuit design system performs independent timing analysis and optimization of each block-level circuit. The system then reassembles the block-level circuits into a modified chip-level circuit for which timing closure can be achieved.
