Ensuring synchronizer with a static flip-flop in Cyclone 10 Gx

Hello, In Cyclone 10 Gx FPGA how do I make sure that the HDL synchronizer design will synthesize using Static flip-flops instead of dynamic flip-flops? By Static flip-flop I am referring to flip-fl...

Hi Pankaj,


Are referring to this type of static and dynamic flip flop? in the below below.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip-flop_(electronics)

How did you determine in Quartus the HDL synchronizer is using the dynamic flip flop? Is it some configs in there in the QP regarding this?


Thanks,

Regards

Hello,

Please see the following link for description on Dynamic Flip-flop

•https://web.stanford.edu/class/ee183/handouts/synchronization_pres.pdf

I do not know of any option within Quartus to choose the type of FF and therefore I posted the original question wondering if I can constrain on FFs so that only static FFs are chosen for synchronizer design.

Thanks
