Input File(s)

Allows you to specify input files containing toggle rate and static probability data on which to base power analysis.Displays the list of specified input files, their file type, and the entities to which they are assigned.

• Add—Opens the Add Power Input File dialog box, which allows you to add a Signal Activity File (.saf) Definition or Value Change Dump File (.vcd) Definition containing toggle rate and static probability data.
• Remove—Removes a selected file from the Input File list.
• Edit—Opens the Edit Power Input File dialog box, which allows you to specify processing options and entity assignment for a selected Signal Activity File or Value Change Dump File.
• Perform glitch filtering on VCD Files—Specifies whether the PowerPlay^® Power Analyzer performs glitch filtering on all Value Change Dump Files. A glitch occurs when transitions of a signal occur too quickly to allow the signal to fully propagate over the routing between the source and destination ports. Glitch filtering removes all pulses that are shorter than the glitch interval length, allowing for more accurate reporting of signal transitions. The glitch filtering enabled by this option removes glitches that occur only over device routing.
