Equations Report

Note:

This topic prints best in Landscape orientation.

Displays the minimized equations for all logic in the project.

The equations, which represent the results of extensive logic synthesis, are provided as reference information. Because logic synthesis minimizes the logic required to implement a design, redundant or unnecessary logic in the original design files may not appear in this report.

A node name in the equation can have any one of the following formats:

Format Note (1)

Description

Example

<Name>

Used for the input and output pins of the current design entity. This format is also used on buried node names in the design entity when the same buried node name remains following compilation. Synthesized names, however, are not used.

updown

<Entity><Instance>_<Name>

Used for nodes in hierarchy levels below the current design entity where you assigned names to the nodes. The hierarchy level is represented by <Entity><Instance>.

B1_carrybit[3]

<Entity><Instance><Type><Index>[Q]

Used for nodes that are created or synthesized during compilation.

B1L7Q or C3M5

<Any One of the Above Formats>_EQ[<nn>]

Used for nodes to which you assigned a temporary name. The name is formed by adding the suffix, _EQ[<nn>], to one of the other formats.

B1_carrybit[8]_EQ4
