Altera® FPGA Timing Closure: Lecture - This instructor-led class is taught in a virtual classroom. No setup is needed. Course Description One of the greatest and most frustrating FPGA design challenges is closing timing. It is very common to find, after performing a complete timing analysis on an FPGA design, that one or more timing reports indicate a timing failure. How can this be corrected? The answer is not always obvious. This class teaches the techniques used by design specialists to close timing on designs that “push the envelope” of performance. Example techniques include thoroughly analyzing the design for common timing failures, adjusting settings and assignments according to tool recommendations, selecting the correct clock resources, and adjusting HDL code for optimal performance. This class is lecture only. There is a follow on workshop class that is lab based. Course Objectives At course completion, you will be able to: Employ best practices for closing timing on an FPGA design in the Quartus® Prime Pro software Analyze timing reports generated by Timing Analyzer as a starting point for timing closure Use the tools available in Quartus Prime Pro software to help in meeting timing Choose settings/assignments to get the best performance Identify the most common types of timing failures and how to solve them Skills Required Completion of an Quartus software related course OR a working knowledge of the Quartus Prime Pro software Completion of an Quartus Timing Analyzer related course OR a working knowledge of Synopsys Design Constraints (SDC) and Timing Analyzer If you need assistance with this course, please email fpgatraining@altera.com .
