Right now, I am trying to apply my delay and area estimates to behavioral descriptions. Therefore, it is important to me to find out what mean the specified area (I suppose it is the number of transistors) and the respective delays (nonoseconds ?) of the Alliance library components. For instance, within a generic we may found: ENTITY sum_y IS GENERIC ( CONSTANT area : NATURAL := 2016; -- area CONSTANT cin_c0b : NATURAL := 46; -- cin_c0b CONSTANT tphl_c0b : NATURAL := 1075; -- tphl_c0b Where may I find a document that explaines theses numbers (nonoseconds, transistor ?) and what these words (tphl_pi, rup_c0b, etc) stand for ? area is in uxu (square micron) times (low-high or high - low) are in ps try man xxx_dp form more information... -- Sincerely, Olivier. ==================================================================== Olivier SIROL Alliance Team ASIM/LIP6/UPMC Coul. 55-65, 2e etg, Bur. 213 75252 Paris Cedex 05 mailto:Olivier.Sirol@lip6.fr Tel: (33/0) 1.44.27.74.78 http://asim.lip6.fr/~czo/ Fax: (33/0) 1.44.27.72.80 --------------FA95A834032BD1DB322F2BF1--
