-cell_type combinational | sequential | clock_network
Specifies the type of cells to be modified for timing fixing:
o combinational (the default) - Fixing is performed by sizing or
inserting combinational logic cells in the data path.
o sequential - Fixing is performed by sizing sequential cells to
fix violations at the sequential cell's input or output pin.
Only the size_cell fixing method (-methods size_cell) is sup-
ported for this type of fixing.
o clock_network - Fixing is performed by sizing or inserting
combinational cells in the clock network, thereby changing
clock arrival times.
You can specify just one of these options, or both combinational
and sequential together to fix both cell types simultaneously.
The sequential and clock_network type modifications can adversely affect clock tree timing, so you should try combina- tional type fixing first and only apply the other types after- ward if needed.
