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.
