[PCB_FORUM] Re: Propagation Rules driven from Schematic to Allegro

Ignore the brackets around the value.  It should be DIFFP_PHASE_TOL with
a value of 25 mils.

In a 3rd Party netlist it would look like this:

 

Diff Pair:

            DIFFERENTIAL_PAIR  DIFFPAIR_A ; NetA_P NetA_N

            DIFFERENTIAL_PAIR  DIFFPAIR_B ; NetB_P NetB_N

 

Phase Tolerance:

            DIFFP_PHASE_TOL  25MILS ; NetA_P NetA_N NetB_P NetB_N

Hope this helps,

You want to add a DIFFP_PHASE_TOL  <25 mil> to your diff pairs to
control the length between the pairs and not a Rel Prop Delay.  All of
the diff pair rules are easily controlled in Constraint manager and I
would recommend only passing the DIFFERENTIAL_PAIR property to define
your pairs and set everything else in Constraint Manager.

Hi all, I was wondering how to do the following...  

 

I have diff pairs that need to have REL_PROP_DELAY GRP:G:L:S::25
properties between P and N signals.. but I also want to place 20 of
these pairs in a group that must adhere to a PROP_DELAY of
L:S:1000:2000.

 

Thus I have P and N constraints as well as a group prop delay
constraint.

 

I'm not sure how to structure these rules for Allegro.  Your help is
appreciated.

 

Thanks,
