Subject: [oc] Synthesis assistance required
that could be tricky. Depends on whether it is synchronous or fallthrough, how big it is. and what the test methodology is.
In fpga - most people forget test. This is not a good idea in asic or full custom. If its smaller than (say) 1K ff's, and synchronous, then fully synthesized flops is often the best solution. Maybe full scan for test. If its fall thru - you really want a custom layout. You are in for a world of hurt if you pass that logic to many place and route tools. For me, custom layout and synthesis do not sit well together.
Bigger than ~1K - you probably want a hard memory - which does not synthesize well. And you get the usual set of memory test issues, probably memory bist.
These are very different solutions. I'd sugggest a small soluton , and a maybe big one. john
