Design Flow

Project information Directory Project name Top level name

Device Select Cyclone

(small & fast for compile)

Create Project

Create a new Schematic File Add Gates Add Pins Check Design

Design Capture

Fix Errors Check Reports

Compile(Synthesis & Fit & STA)

Create a waveform vector File Add input/output pins(using Node Finder) Change value for input pins

Keep outputs as “X”

Create test stimulus file

Right Click on Project, choose “Settings” Select “Simulator Setting” Select input file Select Simulation mode

Functional timing

Setup Simulation Environment

Functional Simulation Generate Functional netlist file for simulation 0 delay, just “functional”

Timing Simulation After Compilation, timing information was

extracted from devices Wire delay/logic delay information would be

used for “back-annotated simulation” Much more accurate

Generate Netlist

Run Simulation

Fix errors

Analysis

S=A and BC=A or B
