Occasional Contributordeleting logic increases macrocells?
Hi, I have a very curious effect: The design of my project is a schematic for an EPM3064ATC100. After compilation 51 macrocells from 64 available ones are used. When I remove an AND with 4 inputs a...
Hi,
This is possible behavior. The original 51 macrocells likely benefited from logic optimization which AND (4 inputs) and NAND (2 inputs) could have been part of a wider combinational logic structure, allowing the fitter to place more logic in fewer macrocells.
When you removed those gates, the fitter had to restructure the logic, which could have increased the number of macrocells
Thanks,
