Chapter 3. Concepts

Speed Grade

speed grade

This option allows the user to select
the desired speed grade for the
target device.

Core Voltage

core voltage

This option allows the user to select
the core voltage for the target device.

Junction Temperature

junction temperature

This option allows the user to select
the junction temperature for the
target device.

Flow Mode

flow mode

Normal flow mode enforces all DRC
checks as early in the flow as
possible. Bitstream generation
requires normal flow mode.
Evaluation flow mode ignores
non-fatal DRCs as long as possible,
assumes best-case XP, and ignores
SDC constraints to get a post-route
timing report quickly.

Auto-Select Top Module

autoselect top module

This option is used to specify the
whether or not the top module name
for this implementation should be
automatically selected. A value of 1
causes the name to be automatically
selected. A value of 0 causes the

-top module

implementation

option value to be used.

Top Module Name

top module

This option is used to specify the top
module name for this
implementation when the

-autoselect top module

implementation option is set to 0.

Constraint Files

Uses the

enable project constraints

and

disable project constraints

commands

This allows the user to enable or
disable the use of an existing project
SDC/PDC constraint file for use in
this implementation’s flow. All
constraint files defined for the active
project will be listed.

Advanced Design Preparation Implementation Options

Option

TCL Option

Description

Timing-Driven Clustering

timing driven clustering

Specifies whether timing-driven
clustering will be enabled during
placement.

Reconvergent Path
Balancing

reconvergent path balance

Specifies whether automatic
reconvergent path balancing is on
or off for this implementation.

Fanout Control

fanout control

Specifies whether fanout control is
on or off for this implementation.
