Custom Buffer Insertion

RoboHorse

Hello,

I am trying to insert my own optimized buffer tree solution after the placement is done (in First Encounter). Has anybody tried this before?

Thanks,

-RH

    I've heard of users writing custom buffering scripts from time to time.  Let us know if you have a good one -or- if you hit roadblocks along the way that we can provide scripting suggestions for.

    Also, if you've seen limitations in native functionality you'd suggest we improve let us know.  If you'd prefer not to share this with the forum, please do share them with your AE or send me a private message via the community and I'll contact you.

     Thanks for the suggestions. The problem with current buffer/inverter solution in synthesis is ineffecient chains and scenic routes. Having manual and custom tree will enable designers to specify driver/sync points and the depth of the chain. There can be some degreee of control in terms of placement (prxomity to driver or receiver) and routing.

    This is too much to wish for but I have started an effort to code this. Will keep you updated.
