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 ...

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 ...

Isolation, retention, and power switches are the important functionalities of power-aware designs which use the common low power techniques like power shutoff, multi-voltage, and advanced techniques ...

In ASIC physical implementation, once layout is generated, it must follow all the design rules for successful manufacturing and must match the schematic of the required design. To ensure this in ...

In the nanometer era, die areas are getting larger as the designs are getting more and more complex. In order to ensure the correctness of the implemented design, bigger layout databases needs to be ...
