1 In the UNIX workstation
environment, filenames and hence
subdesign names are case-sensitive.
sum-of-products A Boolean expression is
said to be in sum-of-products form if it
consists of product terms combined with
the OR operator.
super-project and sub-project A super-
project consists of a top-level design file
that contains symbols or instances
representing multiple, individual projects.
A sub-project is any individual project that
serves as part of a super-project. You can
use any super-project as a sub-project in a
higher-level super-project.
SVF File see Serial Vector Format File.
Symbol File (.sym) A graphic file (with the
extension .sym) created by the Symbol
Editor or the Compiler Netlist Extractor
module of the Compiler. This file
represents a design file (i.e., megafunction
or macrofunction) or MAX+PLUS II
primitive with the same name and can be
used in Graphic Design Files (.gdf).
When the CompilerÕs Linked SNF
Extractor module is turned on, a symbol in
a Graphic Editor file represents a Simulator
Netlist File (.snf), rather than a design file,
during compilation.
symbol ID number or net ID number A
number that uniquely identifies every
node and symbol in a design file.
In the Graphic Editor, this number appears
inside the bottom left corner of a symbol
and reflects the order in which symbols are
entered in a Graphic Editor file. In other
types of design files, the Compiler assigns
ID numbers to nodes when the project is
compiled. In the Hierarchy Display
window, the name of each lower-level
design file is appended with a colon (:)
plus the ID number or an AHDL,VHDL, or
Verilog HDL mega- or macrofunction
instance name.
T
Table File (.tbl) An ASCII file (with the
extension .tbl) that contains a tabular-
format list of all input vectors and output
logic levels in the current Vector File (.vec)
or Simulator Channel File (.scf). The Table
File can be generated in the Simulator or
Waveform Editor.
Tabular Text File (.ttf) An ASCII text file in
tabular format (with the extension .ttf)
containing configuration data for
FLEX 6000, FLEX 8000, and FLEX 10K
devices. A TTF contains the decimal
equivalent of a Raw Binary File (.rbf).
The MAX+PLUS II Compiler automatically
creates TTFs containing configuration data
for the sequential Passive Parallel
Synchronous (PPS), Passive Parallel
Asynchronous (PPA), and Passive Serial
(PS) configuration schemes for FLEX 8000
devices, the PS configuration scheme for
FLEX 10K devices, and the PS and Passive
Serial Asynchronous (PSA) configuration
schemes for FLEX 6000.
After compilation, you can also create TTFs
that support other configuration schemes
for FLEX 6000, FLEX 8000, and FLEX 10K
devices.
t
CO
(Clock to output delay) The time
required to obtain a valid output at an
output pin that is fed by a register after a
Clock signal transition on an input pin that
