Bounds in Placement - Design And Reuse
A placement bound is a constraint that controls the placement of groups of leaf cells and hierarchical cells. It allows us to group the cells and minimize the wire length. It helps us to place the cells at the most appropriate location.
Synthesis Methodology & Netlist Qualification - Design And Reuse
The main objective of this article is to explain synthesis flow and post-synthesis netlist quality checks. In ASIC flow, synthesis is the part of the front-end design, while the back-end design takes the synthesized netlist as an input. So, the synthesized netlist should meet all netlist quality checks to reduce multiple iterations, which reduces the turnaround time and efforts.
Guide to Choosing the Best DC-to-DC Converter for Your …
Mar 14, 2019 · This white paper introduces a procedure for choosing the proper DC-DC switching converter for a given application. It explains basic, performance, and optional metrics in detail. It also demonstrates other practical aspects that are sometimes overlooked by system designers. Multiple application examples are provided.
UPF Constraint coding for SoC - A Case Study - Design And Reuse
Table 1 Power State Tables for SoC. Power switch is created for every switchable power domains. Bottom-Up Approach: A separate UPF constraint file can be created for each subsystem and all the subsystem UPF files are loaded in the SoC Top UPF file using load_upf command with set_scope specifying the corresponding instance name. In Bottom-UP approach each subsystem RTL plus its corresponding ...
SoC Verification Flow and Methodologies - Design And Reuse
We need more and more complex chips and SoCs for all new applications that use the latest technologies like AI. For example, Apple’s 5nm SoC A14 features 6-core CPU, 4 core-GPU and 16-core neural engine capable of 11 trillion operations per second, which incorporates 11.8 billion transistors, and ...
UVM RAL Model: Usage and Application - Design-Reuse.com
To cope with the speed of the competitive market landscape, most of the systems are designed in a generic way - which means the same design can be used in different ways with different configurations. More the number of configurations, more the number of registers in the design.
ggNMOS (grounded-gated NMOS) - Design And Reuse
For decades, a traditional workhorse device for ESD protection for standard applications in CMOS technology has been the grounded-gate NMOS device (ggNMOS). Nevertheless, we have been explaining the operation of this device countless times, including as recently as 3 weeks ago. So, it …
Understanding Timing Correlation Between Sign-off Tool and …
By Sapana Maurya, Sunil Chaudhary (eInfochips) 1- Introduction. For lower technology node designs, it is recommended to use CCS (Composite Current Source) timing libraries because NLDM (Non Linear Delay Model) libraries are unable to model high interconnect impedance, noise propagation and physical effects such as the Miller effect. This inaccurate cell delay calculation necessitates the use ...
Understanding Logic Equivalence Check (LEC) Flow and Its …
Formal verification techniques have been developed using mathematical proof rather than simulation or test vectors to provide a higher level of verification confidence on properties. For example, the implementation can be either a Verilog RTL module or an abstract version of a particular design, while the specification is typically a set of properties that needs to be verified and expressed ...
