When you think about it, logic synthesis is a vital but rather intimidating part of modern chip design. This process takes a high-level description of intended functionality, written in an RTL ...

While most of the ASIC industry is focused on solving timing and congestion problems at the netlist level, LSI Logic has developed and deployed an innovative methodology to resolve these physical ...

As in any other engineering activity, the design of semiconductor chips (ICs) encompasses several separate, but often closely coupled, design activities. Today's system-on-a-chip (SoC) development ...

The post-synthesis gate-level netlist (GL-netlist) based PA simulation input requirements are mostly the same as RTL simulation. However, the design under verification here is the GL-netlist from ...

Engineering Change Order or ECO is the process of inserting logic directly into the gate level netlist corresponding to a change that occurs in the rtl due to design ...

HiDFT-Scan Analyzes, Implements Scan Test Structures in Register-Transfer Level Designs; Closes Historical Gap between RTL and DFT PALO ALTO, Calif.--October 22, 2007--DeFacTo Technologies today ...

If there's a truism in design debug and test, it's that the earlier you can find a bug, the less costly it is to fix. Thus, finding bugs at RTL is far preferable to finding them after synthesis. With ...
