Data arrival Path in timing analyser

Hi everyone, I just came across a very confusing thing about data arrival path in timing analyser. This path mismatched the actual routing path in the chip planner. I placed a 20-bit adder betwee...

Hi Mingqiang,


Can you try to simulate the design and see if the signals give expected result?


Thanks.

Best regards,

Hi KhaiY,

Continuing from the gate-level simulation using Modelsim.

All ouptuts of the adders are correct as expected.

However, I still doubt whether gate-level simulation gives us correct functions in the real chip, though it is reliable to some extent.

I would use oscilloscope to do actual tests to find out what exactly has happened!

Thank you!
