propagation delay

[Shahab47]

hi

I am doing a research on comparing the different design methodologies for
vhdl with altera maxplus2 and xilinx ise webpack software.

I am trying to find out the propagation delay ie maximum delay parameter
in the synthesis report from altera maxplus2 but couldnt find it?can any
body of u help me in this regard? in the maxplus2 there is one option

assign > global project timing requirements..

here we need to enter the value of the propagation time.but i thought it
is some value which is decided after the design is synthesized and is
available in the synthesis report as in xilinx ise webpack......

some light on this topic will be of great help to me .

thank you

Shahab,

I suggest using the Altera Quartus II web edition software instead of
Maxplus II because it has a much better and clearer timing analysis.
Quartus is free to use and you can download it at:

Good luck.

Shahab,

I suggest using the Altera Quartus Web Edition which free and
downloadable at the Altera website. Quartus has a better timing
report feature than Maxplus II.

Hope that helps.
