Abstract
A system and method for generating design constraints for a logic synthesized block from timing analysis of the block. A timing analysis of logic described in software is performed for each of various operating modes of a circuit in which the logic is used. Timing data is extracted from the timing analysis and used as design constraints in the synthesis of the logic for the block.
