I am attempting to design a clock tree for a design with clock gating. I am having trouble understanding the syntax for the ctcsh.

My design gates a clocks for power and functionality. In each case, devices clocked by the gated clock are expected to be synchronous with devices clocked by the ungated clock.

Should I time through the enable/clock in the latch of the clock gate? Should i turn NoGating to Rising? (i use neg level transparent latches for my gates) or leave it at NO? Should I be worried about timing to the D enable of the latch?

What about gating clocks with the negative edge of a flip flop rather than a latch? Do they need the same treatment?
 

I'm made several chip with clock gating & Cadence CTS, without any issues

The main point is to define the correct starting point of your clock tree. The clock tree will include these latch and flop.

The tool manage this properly.
