5.1. 'X' Propagation Support in Simulation

The following Intel® Stratix® 10 variable precision DSP IPs support undetermined value (X) for input signals in simulation starting from Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition v20.3:
  • Native Fixed Point DSP Intel® Stratix® 10 FPGA IP
  • Multiply Adder IP
  • ALTMULT_COMPLEX Intel® FPGA IP
  • LPM_MULT Intel® FPGA IP
  • Native Floating Point DSP Intel® Stratix® 10 FPGA IP
When you drive any input signals with the value of X, the output of the DSP block results to an X value because the arithmetic operation is unable to perform with an undetermined value. This feature is supported for both fixed-point and floating-point arithmetic.

To enable this feature, you must include the define flag option "ENA_INPUT_X_PROP" in the simulation command before compiling the variable precision DSP IP simulation models.

The following is an example of adding the define flag into the simulation command: 
vlog -sv -timescale 1ps/1ps +define+ENA_INPUT_X_PROP -work msim_precompile $env(QUARTUS_DIR)/eda/sim_lib/altera_lnsim.sv

The following table shows the supported input and output values of the DSP block simulation model.
