Parametric Functionality#
One of the main benefits of open-source electronics is the ability to explore parametric designs closely interfaced with existing design flows in common languages, far more than writing old archaic tool-specific scripting languages.
OpenLane Parametric Parameters#
A list of interesting OpenLane design parameters over which you might want to parametrise your design could be:
Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
CLOCK_PERIOD |
in nanoseconds |
PL_TARGET_DENSITY |
|
SYNTH_PARAMETERS |
|
SYNTH_CAP_LOAD |
The capacitive load on the output ports in femtofarads. |
SYNTH_MAX_FANOUT |
