Question:
I have a pulse-shaping circuit similar to the one shown in the following figure.
In the following circuit, only the falling edge from and1/A and rising edge from
and1/B should be used (see waveforms).
How should this be modelled in PrimeTime?
Answer:
This can be done using the set_case_analysis command and assigning values "falling"
to and1/A and "rising" for and1/B. A sample verilog netlist, a set of constraint
and the timing reports are shown below to demonstrate the behaviour.
//Verilog netlist
module clock_shape (in,out);
input in;
output out;
buf1a1 b1 (.A(in), .Y(u1_out));
buf1a1 b2 (.A(u1_out), .Y(u2_out));
buf1a1 b3 (.A(u2_out), .Y(u3_out));
and2a1 and1 (.A(in), .B(u3_out),.Y(out));
endmodule
