Assigning Logic Options

Logic options and logic synthesis style assignments allow you to guide logic synthesis with logic optimization features that are specific to Altera® devices. You can assign logic options and styles to individual logic functions in your design. The MAX+PLUS® II Compiler also uses a device family-specific default logic synthesis style for each project.

To make pin, logic cell, and chip assignments, use the set_attribute command at a dc_shell prompt. Before using the set_attribute command, add the following line to your .synopsys_dc.setup file:

edifout_write_properties_list = {LOGIC_OPTION, CLIQUE, CHIP_PIN_LC} Enter

 
Step To assign a logic option or a logic synthesis style, type the following command at a dc_shell prompt:
  
set_attribute find(<design object>, (<instance name>)) "LOGIC_OPTION"
     -type string "
<logic option>=<value>" Enter
  
For example:
  
set_attribute find (cell, (U1)) "LOGIC_OPTION" -type string
     "STYLE=FAST"
 Enter
  
To specify multiple logic options, use commas as separators.
 
For example:
  
set_attribute find (cell, (U1))"LOGIC_OPTION" -type string "STYLE=FAST,
      CARRY_CHAIN=MANUAL"
 Enter
