BUffer Profiling

In the Encounter User Guide doc, you can find the naming convention used by Encounter during implementation to added cells and nets.
In Optimizing Timing -> Naming Conventions

Typically you can find that buffer added for fix Hold will be prefix with "FE_PHC".

You can use this prefix analysis to sort all your buffers.

Really learn a lot of things from you, bougantp!! Solute!!

Hi please make a note to get number of CTS buffers :

easy way : in "Clock Tree Timing Report" you will get Nr. of Buffer : ** " value directly but need to take from all CTS root point.

alternative way for design : grep "__L" in def file .

Note :
NameDelimiter

if you change in any case by
NameDelimiter # creates names with the format clk##L3#I2, rather than the default format, clk__L3_I2.

UseSingleDelim YES
(creates clock and net names with the format clk_L3_I2, rather than the default format, clk__L3_I2)
