JOE’s_DESIGN has the same source latency as MY_DESIGN (0.30ns), but a different network
latency of 0.07ns (vs. 0.12ns in MY_DESIGN). To model this:
1) We “keep” the set_clock_latency –source 0.3 effect on MY_DESIGN’s output
ports by doing nothing with it
2) We remove the incorrect network latency affect of set_clock_latency 0.12 on
MY_DESIGN’s output ports by using set_output_delay …
-network_latency_included
3) We subtract the correct network latency from the output delay amount (expr 0.8 - 0.07)
to model the later required arrival time of the output data.
(Remember: A larger output delay value means that the data must arrive more time before the
capturing clock edge, or earlier; To model a later output data arrival time you must therefore
decrease the output delay amount.
