5.16.10 Slicing

Bus ports can be sliced or split using Slicing. Then the sliced ports can be connected as regular ports.

To create a slice:

  1. Select a bus port, right-click, and choose Add Slice. This brings up the Add Slice dialog box (see the figure below).
  2. Enter the parameters for the slice and click OK.

Once a slice is created, other bus ports or slices of compatible size can be connected to it. Overlapping slices cannot be created for IN and INOUT ports on instances or top-level OUT ports.

To remove a slice, select the slice, right-click, and choose Delete Slice.
