General Description:
How can I get the SDF from xilinx2primetime have values that reflect the temperature and voltage prorating that was done in implementation?
You have brought up a very important topic here. In order to generate the
proper SDF file reflecting a specific T & V (Temperature, Voltage), we need to
run the NGDANNO with -p switch. The -p switch reads in the PCF file which
contain the desired T and V.
This means that you need a specific set of SDF, Verilog Netlist for each pair of
T V. I will ask Raj to create for you two sets of Netlist and SDF for the
following V and T :
T = 85C
V = 1.70V
T = 40C
V = 1.90V
Raj, please proceed to modify PCF file with each set of T an V and send the
resultant Verilog and SDF file to John.
Shiv, please make sure this feature is placed into the regression suite.
Chris, please add a Solution Record to cover this.
Thanks,
Hamid
