Connect Module Instances Table

The connect module instances table is similar to profiling and it helps you to sort and compare all the connect modules in the design. Each mixed net listed in the sidebar displays the logical and electrical connect modules associated with it on the right pane. The following table lists the most commonly referred variables in the connect module instance table on the right pane.

FeatureVariableDescription
X State Check

time_last_a2d_x

The last time when the digital port signal went into the X state.

max_duration_a2d_x

The maximum duration for which the digital port signal stayed in the X state.

Event Number

num_d2a_events

Number of d2a events from the digital port of IE, covering all possible toggling among 0, 1, X, Z.

num_a2d_events

Number of a2d events to the digital port of IE, covering all possible toggling among 0, 1, X, Z.

Exceed Value

vin_exceeded_limit

Flags 1 when the analog input signal voltage has exceeded the inputlimit, which is vsup*4/3 by default.

vdd_exceeded_limit

Flags 1 when the vdd supply net voltage level has exceeded the vddlimit, which is vsup*4/3 by default.

Consider the following example screenshot. When the table is sorted by the num_d2a_events column, you can see that the most busy connect module is the one connected with the sclk_L2E_2_electrical instance.

 

This kind of profiling and sorting lets you analyze variables values of the connect modules in the table and evaluate if any of them is not working as expected or is slowing down the test.
