hi, i m still in planning phase of my design. i was just looking at xilinx and altera devices. Xilinx provides tri-state buffers as well as tri-state lines whereas altera doesn't and suggests to use muxs insteed of tri-state buffers. Now assume that i have a bus in my design where lots of drivers are there n driving bus through tri-state buffers. I am just wondering what will happen if i implement this design in altera. I'll have to take all drivers at one place, put a mux and re-route them to all sink. won't it affect timing considerably. considering it xilinx becomes obvious choice because of tri-state buffers n lines. Anyone has any other opinion or observation on the topic??
