Synopsys : How to use OSC5, OSC52, and CK_DIV Cells from the XC5200 Synthesys Libraries
Record #1289
Problem Title:
Synopsys : How to use OSC5, OSC52, and CK_DIV Cells from the XC5200 Synthesys Libraries
Problem Description:
Xilinx does not recommend using the OSC5, OSC52, and CK_DIV cells in the XC5200 synthesis libraries.
Due to a limitation in most synthesis tools, you cannot attach parameters or attributes to synthes
ized or instantiated cells. The OSC5, OSC52, and CK_DIV cells require the DIVIDE1_BY or the DIVIDE2
_BY attribute to specify appropriate clock division ratios. Currently, the FPGA Compiler and the De
sign Compiler write netlists that include these cells without the required attributes. This causes
XNFPREP to generate XNFPREP error 4714. However, you can use the OSC5 or CK_DIV module by modifying
and instantiating the .xnf files.
Solution 1:
How to use the OSC5 and CK_DIV with Synopsys in A1.4
1. Instantiate the OSC5 or CK_DIV in your HDL code.
2. Add the DIVIDE1_BY or DIVIDE2_BY attributes to the SXNF file, as shown below. You must use the D
IVIDE1_BY attribute with the OSC1 output and the DIVIDE2_BY attribute with the OSC2 output. The OSC
5 and CK_DIV will be written into
the SXNF file from FPGA Compiler.:
Original SXNF file with OSC5
LCANET,5
PROG,Synopsys,1997.08,"Created from test.db"
PART,5202PC44-3
SYM,MYCLOCK,OSC5
PIN,OSC1,O,clock,,
END
.

Modified SXNF file:
LCANET,5
PROG,Synopsys,1997.08,"Created from test.db"
PART,5202PC44-3
SYM,MYCLOCK,OSC5,DIVIDE1_BY=4,DIVIDE2_BY=2
PIN,OSC1,O,clock,,
END

(3) Place and route the design using A1.4
Solution 2:
How to use OSC5 and CK_DIV with Synopsys :
1. Go to the DS401_install_directory/data/synopsys/xprim_5200 directory.
2. Copy the CK_DIV.XNF or OSC5.XNF file to your working directory.
3. Add the DIVIDE1_BY or DIVIDE2_BY attributes to the XNF file, as shown below. You must use the D
IVIDE1_BY attribute with the OSC1 output and the DIVIDE2_BY attribute with the OSC2 output. When th
e design is implemented, these XNF files are merged in and the DIVIDE1_BY anf DIVIDE2_BY attributes
are preserved.
The following is the origional OSC5.XNF file :
LCANET, 6
SYM, $1I1, OSC52, SCHNM=OSC5, LIBVER=2.0.0
PIN, OSC1, O, OSC1
PIN, OSC2, O, OSC2
END
EOF
Add attributes to the file as shown. Refer to the Liraries Supplement Guide for the appropriate val
us of X and Y.
LCANET, 6
SYM, $1I1, OSC52, SCHNM=OSC5, LIBVER=2.0.0, DIVIDE1_BY=X, DIVIDE2_BY=Y
PIN OSC1, O, OSC1
PIN OSC2, O, OSC2
END
EOF
The following is the origional CK_DIV.XNF file :
LCANET, 6
SYM, $1I1, OSC52, SCHNM=CK_DIV, LIBVER=2.0.0
PIN, C, I, C
PIN, OSC1, O, OSC1
PIN, OSC2, O, OSC2
END
EOF
Add the Attributes to the file as shown. Refer to the Libraries Supplement Guide for the appropriat
e values of X and Y.
LCANET, 6
SYM, $1I1, OSC52, SCHNM=CK_DIV, LIBVER=2.0.0, DIVIDE1_BY=X, DIVIDE2_BY=Y
PIN, C, I, C
PIN, OSC1, O, OSC1
PIN, OSC2, O, OSC2
END
EOF
4. Instantiate the OSC5 or CK_DIV module in your design.
