Application of Registered Performance
- Use Registered Performance Analysis to see if design meets clock frequency requirement
- What to do if frequency is less than desired
- Use List Path to display the worst case delays
- Use Floorplan Editor to view the entire path
- Are Logic Cells and pins scattered among different rows?
- Can the Logic Cells benefit from carry/cascade chains (FLEX) or parallel expanders (MAX)?
- Use Assignments ( Clique, Logic Options, etc¡¦ ) on the critical path to improve performance
- If still less than desired, consider pipelining technique or different design implementations where appropriate
