Constraining Input Ports with `set_input_delay` in Static Timing Analysis

Using the set_input_delay command establishes timing constraints for paths that begin at an input port and end at a sequential element. Since the startpoint lacks a physical launch flip-flop, the constraint models an external virtual launch register clocked by a reference clock. To remove a previously applied constraint, use remove_input_delay. ...
