10 years agoEstimate total computation time in FPGA
Hi, I am using MAX 10 FPGA to implement a controller for my power supply. The VHDL code for the controller is as follows. In this code the input 'I' is a pulse which helps to sample input Iref at ...

10 years agoModelsim will not show you the delay, because there is 0 delay in the HDL because you didnt model any. HDL code does not have any delay because it only models a circuit.
In the Max device, there will be a real delay, but because you have made an analogue circuit, this delay will vary depending on compilation routing, temperature, voltage and just random variations from chip to chip, so the delay is impossible to calculate. If you used a synchronous circuit, you can work out the delay from the number of registers in the calculation pipeline.
