Calculating the area

[Chinmay Joshi]

Hello,
Can you please tell me how to calculate the area of my design. I have read the forum in which you have said that we have to multiply the number of blocks the circuit occupies with the dimension of one block. However, I am getting a wrong answer when I compare the area of the full adder. I have tried multiplying it with 300 as that was the dimension given of one block in MagCAD.

Dear Chinmay,

since version 2.2.0, the bounding box area is automatically computed by MagCAD and saved within the log file generated during the VHDL netlist extraction.
