V2.1i COREGEN, C_IP2: Latency may be incorrect in Virtex Variable Multiplier VHDL behavioral model


Record #6012

Product Family: Software

Product Line: LogiCore

Product Part: Coregen IP Modules

Problem Title:
V2.1i COREGEN, C_IP2: Latency may be incorrect in Virtex Variable Multiplier VHDL behavioral model



Problem Description:
Urgency: standard

General Description:
The number of cycles of latency modeled by the VHDL behavioral model for the
Virtex Variable Multiplier shipped in C_IP2 may be incorrect.

For example, a multiplier with an 8-bit B input and both pipeline and output registers is shows a latency of only one clock cycle in simulation. The correct number of cycles is
3 for this case, as indicated in the multiplier datasheet.



Solution 1:

To work around this problem, you can do a post-NGDBUILD functional simulation
instead of a direct behavioral simulation using the CORE Generator models. Refer to the datasheet for this module for information on the correct number of cycles of latency for multiplier implementation.
