How to understand -edge option if first edge of generated clock is falling edge?

Started by tip_can19 5 years ago1 replylatest reply 5 years ago130 views
I am trying to understand the waveform created by create_generated_clock with -edge option.

Suppose I have master clock as create_clock 2 [get_ports DCLK] like below:

I do create_generated_clock -name G3CLK -edges {5 7 10} -source DCLK [get_pins UAND0/Z]

Assuming needed is first edge of generated clock is falling edge, it is inferred at 1ns (or 2) automatically and why not at 3? Why would that be?

i think i misunderstand the diagram with edges. I suppose the 11th edge is nothing but first edge, so from 10 to 11th edge is equal to high period (1 step/1ns) and then 1 to 2nd edge (1ns) as another step which makes positve 2ns, so the fall is at edge 2 and not 3. I hope this understanding is correct.
