Xilinx Timing Constraints for Asynchronous Logic (asynch latches)

Sep 15, 2003 0 Replies

Hello, I'm trying to implement an ISE 5.2.03i XST verilog dual-rail adder core (generated from Balsa) on an XCV2000E-bg560-6 that is included in an EDIF (generated by HandelC) design flow. A post-translate simulation of the core indicates successful reset and valid then empty inputs are applied. However, evil red lines/Xs occur waiting for indication that the add has completed.



Behavioural simulation of the core, and behavoural cosimulation of handelc+core are fine



The core is delay insensitive, but I must still (obviously) meet setup and hold constraints. Could anyone point me to an example/tutorial or give me instructions on how to apply xilinx timing constraints when dealing with LD and LDC latches driven by asynchronous signals.



Sorry if this is a stupid question, I did try to find this on the support site and RTFMed but there was no clear answer.



Cheers, Andy
