1.5.12.10. Double-Counting Compensation Circuitry

The double-counting compensation circuitry block of the simulation SPICE deck instantiates a second I/O buffer that is used to measure double-counting. The buffer is configured identically to the user I/O buffer but is connected to the Quartus® Prime software test load. The simulated delay of this second buffer can be interpreted as the amount of double-counting between the Quartus® Prime software and HSPICE Writer simulated results.

As the amount of double-counting is constant for a given I/O standard on a given pin, consider separating the double-counting circuitry from the simulation file. In doing so, you can perform any number of I/O simulations while referencing the delay only once.

  (Part of )Double-Counting Compensation Circuitry Block

* Double Counting Compensation Circuitry
*
* The following circuit is designed to calculate the amount of
* double counting between Intel Quartus Prime and the HSPICE models. If
* you have not changed the default simulation temperature or
* transistor corner this spice deck automatically compensates the double
counting.
* In the event you wish to
* simulate an IO at a different temperature or transistor corner
* you need to remove this section of code and manually
* account for double counting. A description of Intel’s
* recommended procedure for this process can be found in the
* Intel Quartus Prime HSPICE Writer AppNote.
