    Power/heating/voltage distribution

    thanks, can you provide me with a straightforward example (in the gui or through the commandline) ? Otherwise I will dig into the very extensive encounter docs. Cheers, D

    Power/heating/voltage distribution

    Hi buddies, I've a couple of design (final layout netlist after PNR with soc encounter) that I want to compare from several viewpoint such as: • power distribution • heating distribution • voltage drop Do you know which software I should use in order to get a picture with my design and the...

    hierarchical place and route with encounter

    Hi buddies, let me try to briefly summarize what I do before illustrating the problem. I have a design with 16 sub-blocks. 1) the design is partitioned and 16 partitions are saved 2) I work block by block doing place and route 3) when all the blocks are placed&routed I reopen the main design...

    increase driving strength

    Hi guys, I think this is a very simple question for you but it's driving me crazy :-( I'm synthesizing a design where I send out a negated version of the clock. Let's assume this is a counter that has an assignment like: assign clk_out = !clk; of course this is translated with an inverter...

    Problem related to clock skewing and grouping clocks

    Hi guys, I'm trying to solve a problem related to clock skewing. I've two clocks in my design and I know I can specify to the CTS engine of SOC encounter that I want at most X picoseconds of skew tolerated for that clock. This parameter is called MaxSkew in the .cts specification file. So now...

    place and route in soce with/without latch

    In both cases I have violations the only difference is how big they are: - both FF: 1.7ns - 1 FF and 1 latch: 3ns As far as I can see from the report_timing in prime time: Point Incr Path ... .. time borrowed from endpoint...

    place and route in soce with/without latch

    Hi guys, I am facing the following problem since a while: blockA <--> blockB, at the output of blockA there is a FF and a wire that goes as input to a latch in blockB. If I place these two blocks in soc encounter with a certain distance (5mm) I see a certain delay (~3ns) on the link...

    CTS and skew control - clock skew balancing

    cts local skew Guys, am I completely out of scope or the question is too funny? Please give me any sort of feedback! Thanks

    CTS and skew control - clock skew balancing

    clock skew balancing Hi guys, while using SoC encounter, I didn't quite understand a couple of options you can provide the CTS engine with: - clkgroup (the sinks of all clock root pins listed in a ClkGroup statement will meet the maximum skew value set in the clock tree specification file...
