ID:13031 Reduced fanout from the always-enabled open-drain buffer "<name>" to the output pin "<name>" to GND
CAUSE: The specified open-drain buffer is fed by the constant
GND
. So essentially, the output pin that it drives will always have the value GND
. As a result, the Quartus Prime software removed the fanout from the open-drain buffer to the output pin and replaced it with the constant GND
. For example, this situation occurs in the following Verilog design:
module test (output out);
wire gnd;
assign gnd = 1'b0;
OPNDRN my_opndrn (.in(gnd), .out(out));
endmodule
ACTION: Either remove the specified open-drain buffer from the design or drive it from a non-constant driver.
