Instability during simulation

archive
archive over 18 years ago

Hi, guys

I'm experiencing some problems and I didn't find any way to solve then....

I have an edge detector, which works perfect in FPGA, but I cannot simulate it...

It was designed to be robust to setup/hold time violation, because when the sampling in the first flip-flop violates it, the clock period is long enough to resolve the output of the first flip-flop to the second one  (so the signal should be "1" or "0" at the output (rising or falling) and never "x").

When I simulate it without SDF file it works perfectly, becouse it doesn't handle with setup time violation, but when I include it simulation apears like the image above.

Anyone knows how to configure simulator to resolve the signal before the next period, as in "real world"...

     You can modify sdf to resolve the unknown at the output of the first flip-flop.
