i think you should obtain more experient of ASIC design before you read the book <VLSI Digital Signal Processing Systems, Design and Implementation>. so you can make a bridge between the algorithms the book mentioned and the implemention in your mind.
you can calcute the fanout load by yourself based on the library information. you can specify a big fanout_load value to save area. but it must meet the timing constrain. if you wanna get high speed performance, the fannout_load value should be small.
about timing closure
hi all,
i found the timing report from the synthesis tool is different very much from the timing report after place and route when i use xilinx devices. and the net delay is 70% and more after place and route. so i think that is timing closure problem. andbody here can...
the model is not for verification, but for synthesesis instead? i don't understand. but if you write model by using verilog, you don't need much special skills. it's not difficult actually.
the AE from Cadence told me that the design synthesized by their synthesis tool RTL Encounter(RC) is much smaller than by DC(2004.06), and saves much run time. but i am not sure. did anybody here compare the two tools with your own design ?
Re: .13 vs .18
i don't think the timing report is precision, espcially in .13 process. you should get the sdf file and back-annotate to the netlist. and then you can compare the tow timing reports, and get the result correctly.
Re: about synthesis
If you are using DC, there are no commands to find the combinatorial paths. Just read the HDL code, or use HDL analyser such as Debussy.
