You work in an environment where demanding design goals and aggressive project schedules go hand-in-hand with the push to get more complex products to market faster. And you have just finalized the ...
Chip synthesis is a new approach to turning register transfer level (RTL) code into gates a whole chip at a time. Traditional synthesis is coming apart at the seams, especially for designs larger than ...
The use of IP (intellectual property) as basic building blocks is an established practice for SoC designs. Most IP is developed without chip-level context and very little knowledge about physical ...
Traditionally RTL power analysis has been used to understand the design power consumption so that package and power supply designs can start, and designers can then fix any power regression violations ...
Out of all these challenges chip designers face, timing closure has probably been the number one digital IC implementation challenge since at least 1990. What's really going on here? What's ...
True or false: ASIC design follows a very straightforward path that begins with high-level architectural definition. It proceeds through RTL design and preliminary floorplanning. After synthesis, the ...
HARDWARE DESIGN is a process of refining an idea from a highly abstract form to a concrete, physical implementation. Along the way, a design is continually transformed from a given state of ...
