Guidelines for Parasitic Backannotation Options
For the selective backannotation options, consider the following guidelines to define net in the RC section:
- Wildcards are supported.
-
For multiple net names in the option definition, specify them within
[]. -
If you specify the selective backannotation options multiple times, all specified settings are considered and combined.
-
The hierarchical delimiter is from the DSPF file (because
netexists in the DSPF file). The mapping ofnetin the options is matched with the DSPF file RC NET and not directly with the pre-layout nodes. -
If you are specifying
netin files for optionssfx_ba_skip_net_file,sfx_ba_gcap_net_file, and so on, ensure that eachnetis specified in a separate line. Multiplenetentries in one line are not supported.
If a net is specified using by multiple selective backannotation statements, the precedence is defined by the following two rules:
- Rule 1: The net name without a wildcard overwrites the names matched by wildcards in all the other statements. For signals with wildcard, their priority is the same.
-
Rule 2: The precedence of options is:
sfx_ba_skip_net>sfx_ba_rc_net>sfx_ba_ccap_net>sfx_ba_gcap_net.
