derived clock
Hi All,
Could anyone tell me what is the standard way of generating a derived clock?
For example I have a design that has one clk input (4MHz), and then in some of the submodules, I have a 2 Mhz clk derived from the main clock and then within these submodules i have 1 MHz clock.
If such is the case, is it preferred to have 3 separate main clock ports on the top design?
I was trying to set some constraints in DC compiler, however, I cannot set any derived clock as an ideal driver. If I would like to use the CTS during P&R, is having 3 separate main clock ports on the top design the only way ? If I would like to P&R the whole design rather than partitioning them?
Thanks,
Regards,
Louis
