TMC-20251: Paths Failing Setup Analysis within Platform Designer Interconnect Burst Adapter

Description

Design contains failing path between Platform Designer interconnect components. This condition is due to the use of generic converter burst adapter.

Parameters

Name Description Type Default Value Min Value Max Value
maximum_setup_slack Reports a violation for timing paths that have a setup slack below the value of this parameter. double 0.0    
to_clock_filter Reports a violation for timing paths that end at a register in a clock domain that matches the value of this parameter. string *    
minimum_number_of_adders Reports a violation for timing endpoints that are preceded by a number of independent adder chains greater than or equal to this value. integer 3    
minimum_number_of_soft_mult_chains Reports a violation for timing endpoints that are preceded by a number of independent adder chains that are implementing multiplier logic greater than or equal to this value. integer 2    

Recommendation

To improve timing of the interconnect, use per-burst-type converter burst adapter. This implementation is faster than the generic burst adapter. Perform the following:

  • In Platform Designer, open the Platform Designer system that has this violation.
    Figure 1. Platform Designer System
  • In the right-hand pane, go to DomainsInterconnect ParametersDomain tab.
  • Change the Burst adapter implementation parameter to use the Per-burst-type converter (faster, higher area) option using the drop-down menu.
