6 Fitter Hints

This section provides guidance on using the fitter effectively to achieve efficient design fits, optimize performance, and reduce system noise and power consumption. The following hints are discussed:

  • Do Not Assign Pins
  • Use Default Properties and Strategies
  • Use Cascade Logic for Design Performance
  • Using Foldback Logic
  • Use XOR Synthesis
  • Preventing Nodes from Collapsing
  • Using Slew Rate Control
  • Using the Power-Down Pin
