This training is part 1 of 4. Closing timing can be one of the most difficult and time-consuming aspects of creating an FPGA design. The Timing Analyzer, part of the Intel® Quartus® Prime software, is an easy-to-use tool for creating Synopsys* design constraints (SDC) files and for generating detailed timing reports to shorten the process of timing closure. This part of the training introduces you to the basic timing analysis concepts required for understanding how to use the tool.
