NAME
buffer_ports - buffer ports
SYNOPSIS
buffer_ports [-inputs] [-outputs] [-max_utilization util] [-buffer_cell buf_cell]
DESCRIPTION
The buffer_ports -inputs command adds a buffer between the input and its
loads. The buffer_ports -outputs adds a buffer between the port driver
and the output port. Inserting buffers on input and output ports makes
the block input capacitances and output drives independent of the block
internals.
OPTIONS
-inputs, -outputs: Insert a buffer between the input and load, output and load respectively. The default behavior is -inputs and -outputs set if neither is specified.
-max_utilization: Defines the percentage of core area used.
ARGUMENTS
This command has no arguments.
