How to avoid negative slack?

Slow down the clock.

Make the net shorter.

Reduce the circuit temperature.

Increase the supply voltage.

Very carefully.

HTH, Syms. :-)

himassk,

Rather than be "cute" or attempt humor, I will take you seriously:

Aust> Hi,

Miaow!! Anyway, why not just tell the guy to type this into Google?

"negative slack" site:xilinx.com

Set a man afire, and all that...

Love, Symsx. :-)

Symon,

It reminds me of the fellow who walks into his doctor's office, and says,

-"Doctor, when I do this...it hurts!"

The doctor looks at him, and says,

"That will be 100 euros (or dollars, your choice when you tell the joke), please."

-"But you haven't told me what to do!"

"I need to be paid first."

-"Okay, here is your 100 euros..."

"Sir, ... don't do that."

The temptation was great,

So, the same chap wanders in off the street and says "Doctor, doctor. I keep thinking I'm a moth!" The guy responds, "I'm terribly sorry sir, but this is a butcher's shop." The first guy says, "Yeah, I know. But your light was on."

Hi Austin, there was an English comedian called Tommy Cooper who, if you've not come across him before, I think you'd like!

Sorry 4 the OT everyone, Syms.

Symon,

I needed that.

Thanks,

Austin
