Hi All

Does the duty cycle of clock matter , when defining the clock.

what happens if i define clock "50 percent" and "non 50 percent duty cycle", am i free to define duty cycle of the clock.
Thanks in adavnec
 

You are not free to define duty cycle of the clock. It will come from the specification of source that is generating the clock, it could be a PLL or a crystal through a divider or directly.

It would matter if you have both posedge as well as negedge triggered flops or latches in design.

If you are talking about synthesis, You can define the duty cycle of the clock and analyize the limitations of your design and this can be done with :

create_clock command has the option to define your duty cycle -->
create_clock –period 4 –waveform {0 3} [get_ports {clk}]

Here i have done it for 75% clk high and 25% clk low
