The following legends appear consistently in the Report Power tool:
- Constraint
- Displays when the nets are defined as clock with timer constraints. The defined frequency of a clock determines the switching activity.
- Stimulation
- Displays when the nets with switching activities are derived from simulation’s .saif file.
- User Defined
- Displays when the nets with user set switching activities are derived from
set_switching_activity power
Tcl command. - Estimated
- Displays when the nets with switching activities are generated by
report_power
vectorless propagation engine. - Default
- Displays when the nets include default switching activities. If you use
set_switching_activity
on input port nets or on internal nets before runningreport_power
(vectorless propagation), the report tool displays the default.
