You can force replication based on physical device attributes with the MAX_FANOUT_MODE property. The property can take on the value of CLOCK_REGION, SLR, or MACRO. For example, the MAX_FANOUT_MODE property with a value of CLOCK_REGION replicates the driver based on the physical clock region, the loads placed into same clock region will be clustered together. The MAX_FANOUT_MODE property takes precedence over the FORCE_MAX_FANOUT property and physical synthesis will try to honor both by applying MAX_FANOUT_MODE-based optimization first and then all its replicated drivers will inherit the FORCE_MAX_FANOUT property to do further replication within a clock region.
Architecture Support
All architectures.
Applicable Objects
Nets (get_nets) directly connected to the output of a Register (FD, FDCE, FDPE, FDRE, FDSE) or LUT (LUT1, LUT2, LUT3, LUT4, LUT5, LUT6, LUT6_2).
Values
•CLOCK_REGION, SLR, MACRO: Directs the tool replicate the driver per object specified. MACRO loads are Block RAM, UltraRAM, or DSP.
Syntax
