RTL Module Latency

904 Views

Hi,

I wrote a (relatively large) RTL module. It's optimized to calculate the square root for fixed point numbers in a very specific parameter range. I've implemented it without any internal state, only using combinatorics. What would be the right way to describe this in the RTL module description?

I would think I have to set IS_STALL_FREE and IS_FIXED_LATENCY to YES. But what about EXPECTED_LATENCY? Is it 0? Or 1?

Thanks,

Hanno

<IS_STALL_FREE value="yes"/>

<IS_FIXED_LATENCY value="yes"/>

<EXPECTED_LATENCY value="0"/>
