Abstract
Embodiments are for using out-of-context timing constraints modification for pins of a macro an integrated circuit (IC). A technique includes moving at least one pin of a macro during synthesis for the IC, in response to performing synthesis on a specification for the IC and determining a distance that the at least one pin moved from an original location to a new location in the macro. The technique includes determining a delay based at least in part on the distance moved and using the delay to determine a signal timing at the least one pin at the new location in the macro.
