In some cases, the combinational data path between two flip-flops can take more than one clock cycle to propagate through the logic. In such cases, the combinational path is declared as a multicycle path. Even though the data is being captured by the capture flip-flop on every clock edge, we direct STA that the relevant capture edge occurs after the specified number of clock cycles.
create_clock -name CLKM -period 10 [get_ports CLKM]
set_multicycle_path 3 -setup \
-from [get_pins UFF0/Q] \
-to [get_pins UFF1/D]
Notice that the clock edge for the capture flip-flop is now three clock cycles away, at 30ns.
