TMC-10115: High Fan-out Signal
Description
High fan-out nets limit the performance of designs using the Intel Hyperflex architecture. High fan-out may contain long or short path imbalances that limit retiming in critical chains.
Parameters
| Name | Description | Type | Default Value | Min Value | Max Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| fanout | Reports a violation for drivers that have at least the number of fan-outs specified in this parameter | integer | 50000 | 0 |
Recommendation
Duplicate high fan-out driver registers. Refer to DUPLICATE_REGISTER and DUPLICATE_HIERARCHY_DEPTH assignments for automated solutions. Alternatively, you can edit the RTL to create duplicate copies.
If you edit the RTL, apply the preserve_syn_only attribute to duplicate registers and assign the duplicates to individual instances in the fan-out hierarchy.
Severity
Low
