8.2 Adding Drivers and Loads into the Logical Cone
(Ask a Question)For objects such as Ports, Nets, and Instances, the drivers or loads of these design objects, when selected, can be added to the logical cone. The driver or load of design objects can be added across multiple logical levels. That means the driver of a driver (two logical level) or the load of a load (two logical levels) can be added to the logical cone. At the expense of some runtime penalty for large designs, up to a maximum of ten logical levels of a selected design object can be added to the logical cone.
- Click Add to Target Cone > Selection to add a selected design object to the Target Cone.
- Click Add to Target Cone >
Driver/Load > Logical Level 1/2/3 to include in the cone the
driver/load of the selected object.
If the Do Selection Locally feature is enabled, Netlist Viewer stops at the hierarchical boundary when adding drivers/loads to the cone. If this feature is disabled, Netlist Viewer crosses design hierarchy boundaries to reach the specified number of logic levels of drivers/loads.
