Multiple clocks are usually acceptable. AMD recommends that you ensure that these clocks are expected to propagate on the same clock tree. You must also verify that the paths requirement between these clocks does not introduce tighter requirements than needed for the design to be functional in hardware.

If this is the case, you must use set_clock_groups or set_false_path between these clocks on these paths. Any time that you use timing exceptions, you must ensure that they affect only the intended paths.
