20.2.4.2 Average Frequencies

Displays the average frequency of all pins displayed in the grid.

Average Frequencies are useful when you import a VCD file or SAIF file. Since these files enable you to specify the frequency of each pin individually, it is often useful to know the average clock pin or data pin frequency for a particular clock domain.

If you did not specify a frequency annotation for any clock pin in this clock domain, the average value is equal to the default clock frequency of the clock domain. If you set one or several clock pins, SmartPower takes these specific annotations into account to compute an average value.
