GUI Based vs. Manual Instantiation of Components

Martin

Hello,

I'm just curious whether people have preference when instantiating
complex modules (i.e. modules with lots of parameters). Do most of you
use GUI tools provided by the vendors to generate the modules, or do
you simply code it yourself? Thanks.

I prefer to infer these from a code template when possible.
This makes simulation simpler and might make the
code portable.

If I need a pure black-box vendor netlist like a PLL,
there is usually no choice but to instance the module.
The GUI tool probably makes sense for
the first pass in these cases.
