From 00fbab6c9dda8f2c514a9f072558393f7c018716 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason <83615043+JJassonn69@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 15:02:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Achieve full timing closure on xc7a100tcsg324-1 at 400 MHz (0 violations) Complete FPGA timing closure across all clock domains after 9 iterative Vivado builds. WNS improved from -48.325ns to +0.018ns (107,886 endpoints). RTL fixes for 400 MHz timing: - NCO: 6-stage pipeline with DSP48E1 phase accumulator, registered LUT index (Fix D splits address decode from ROM read), distributed RAM - CIC: explicit DSP48E1 PCOUT->PCIN cascade for 5 integrator stages, CREG=1 on integrator_0 to eliminate fabric->DSP setup violation - DDC: 400 MHz reset synchronizer (async-assert/sync-deassert), active-high reset register for DSP48E1 RST ports, posedge output stage - FIR: 5-stage binary adder tree pipeline (7-cycle latency) - FFT: 5-cycle butterfly pipeline with registered twiddle index, XPM_MEMORY_TDPRAM for data storage - XDC: CDC false paths, async reset false paths, CIC comb multicycle paths Final Build 9 timing (all MET): adc_dco_p (400 MHz): WNS = +0.278ns clk_100m (100 MHz): WNS = +0.018ns clk_120m_dac (120 MHz): WNS = +0.992ns ft601_clk_in (100 MHz): WNS = +5.229ns Cross-domain (adc_dco_p->clk_100m): WNS = +7.105ns --- .../9_2_FPGA/cic_decimator_4x_enhanced.v | 867 +++++++++++++----- 9_Firmware/9_2_FPGA/cntrt.xdc | 49 +- 9_Firmware/9_2_FPGA/ddc_400m.v | 128 ++- 9_Firmware/9_2_FPGA/fft_engine.v | 148 ++- 9_Firmware/9_2_FPGA/fir_lowpass.v | 218 +++-- 9_Firmware/9_2_FPGA/nco_400m_enhanced.v | 138 ++- 9_Firmware/9_2_FPGA/tb/tb_nco_400m.v | 12 +- 7 files changed, 1150 insertions(+), 410 deletions(-) diff --git a/9_Firmware/9_2_FPGA/cic_decimator_4x_enhanced.v b/9_Firmware/9_2_FPGA/cic_decimator_4x_enhanced.v index d9dcc10..c0613b8 100644 --- a/9_Firmware/9_2_FPGA/cic_decimator_4x_enhanced.v +++ b/9_Firmware/9_2_FPGA/cic_decimator_4x_enhanced.v @@ -15,54 +15,510 @@ parameter STAGES = 5; parameter DECIMATION = 4; parameter COMB_DELAY = 1; -// Accumulator width: input_width + N*log2(R) = 18 + 5*2 = 28 bits -// (36-bit was over-provisioned; 28 bits is mathematically exact for R=4, N=5) -localparam ACC_WIDTH = 28; - -reg signed [ACC_WIDTH-1:0] integrator [0:STAGES-1]; -reg signed [ACC_WIDTH-1:0] comb [0:STAGES-1]; -reg signed [ACC_WIDTH-1:0] comb_delay [0:STAGES-1][0:COMB_DELAY-1]; - -// Enhanced control and monitoring -reg [1:0] decimation_counter; -reg data_valid_delayed; -reg data_valid_comb; -reg [7:0] output_counter; -reg [ACC_WIDTH-1:0] max_integrator_value; -reg overflow_detected; -reg overflow_latched; // Latched overflow indicator - -// Diagnostic registers -reg [7:0] saturation_event_count; -reg [31:0] sample_count; - -// Comb-stage saturation flags (separate from integrator block to avoid multi-driven nets) -reg comb_overflow_latched; -reg comb_saturation_detected; -reg [7:0] comb_saturation_event_count; - -// Temporary signals for calculations -reg signed [ACC_WIDTH-1:0] abs_integrator_value; -reg signed [ACC_WIDTH-1:0] temp_scaled_output; -reg signed [17:0] temp_output; // Temporary output for proper range checking - -// Pipeline stage for saturation comparison — breaks CARRY4 chain from timing path -reg sat_pos; // temp_scaled_output > 131071 (registered) -reg sat_neg; // temp_scaled_output < -131072 (registered) -reg signed [17:0] temp_output_pipe; // Registered passthrough value -reg data_out_valid_pipe; // Delayed valid for pipelined output +// Accumulator width: DSP48E1 native 48-bit. +// CIC uses modular (wrapping) arithmetic so extra MSBs are harmless. +localparam ACC_WIDTH = 48; + +// Comb section operates on 28-bit (18 + 5*log2(4) = 28, exact for comb range). +localparam COMB_WIDTH = 28; + +// ============================================================================ +// INTEGRATOR CHAIN — explicit DSP48E1 with PCOUT→PCIN cascade +// ============================================================================ +// Integrator[0]: P = P + C, C = sign_extend(data_in) [from fabric] +// Integrator[k]: P = P + PCIN, PCIN from integrator[k-1] [dedicated cascade] +// +// The PCOUT→PCIN cascade uses dedicated silicon routing between vertically +// adjacent DSP48E1 tiles — zero fabric delay, guaranteed to meet 400+ MHz +// on 7-series regardless of speed grade. +// +// Active-high reset derived from reset_n (inverted). +// CEP (clock enable for P register) gated by data_valid. +// ============================================================================ + +wire reset_h = ~reset_n; // active-high reset for DSP48E1 RSTP + +// Sign-extended input for integrator_0 C port (48-bit) +wire [ACC_WIDTH-1:0] data_in_c = {{(ACC_WIDTH-18){data_in[17]}}, data_in}; + +// DSP48E1 cascade wires +wire [47:0] pcout_0, pcout_1, pcout_2, pcout_3; +wire [47:0] p_out_0, p_out_1, p_out_2, p_out_3, p_out_4; + +`ifndef SIMULATION +// ============================================================================ +// SYNTHESIS: Explicit DSP48E1 instances with PCOUT→PCIN cascade +// ============================================================================ + +// --- Integrator 0: P = P + C (accumulate sign-extended input) --- +// OPMODE = 7'b0101100: Z=P(010), Y=C(11), X=0(00) → P = P + C +// CREG=1: C port is registered inside DSP48E1.
