CHAPTER 8: TIMING ANALYSIS
VIEWING TIMING ANALYSIS RESULTS
156 ■ INTRODUCTION TO QUARTUS II ALTERA CORPORATION
Using the Technology Map Viewer
The Quartus II Technology Map Viewer provides a low-level, or atom-level,
technology-specific schematic representation a design. The Technology Map
Viewer includes a schematic view, and also includes a hierarchy list, which
lists the instances, primitives, pins, and nets for the entire design netlist.
After performing Timing Analysis or performing a full compilation that
includes Timing Analysis, you can use the Technology Map Viewer to view
the nodes that make up a timing path, including information about total
delay and individual node delay. See Figure 8.
You can display the Technology Map Viewer after performing a timing
analysis by using the following methods:
■ Using the Technology Map Viewer command (Tools menu)
■ Using the Locate in Technology Map Viewer command (right button
pop-up menu) from a Timing Analyzer section in the Report Window
■ Using the Location list in the Messages window (after using the List
Paths command)
