  • How-to Plans for ECOs - Advice From Experts
    By Bassilios Petrakis I often wonder whether designers plan out well in advance their ECO methodology and strategy for a project. For instance, how do they determine how many spare gates to add, what type, where to place them, how to connect them. Or, what is the impact of RTL coding style, aggressive design optimization, and hierarchy ungrouping ...

  • Automatically Identify, Fix, and Prevent Congestion With RTL Compiler Physical
    By Ankush Sood Principal Product Engineer Congestion is at the heart of the design closure challenge today. With smaller cell dimensions, increased chip-size and an inclination of design houses to reduce metal layers available for routing (to save costs), designs are getting more congested. The normal approach to solve congestion has ...

  • DesignWare and AmbitWare Demystified - Why and When to Avoid?
    By Diego Hammerschlag Sr. Technical Leader Team FED  Most, if not all, synthesis tools today support the use of Synopsys DesignWare or a vendor specific brand of <vendor>Ware such as Ambit's AmbitWare, Cadence's ChipWare and others. I have been frequently asked on the purpose of <vendor>Ware being that many of ...

  • RC Design Explorer: Find the Right Balance of Power and Performance
    By Paul Weil Sr. Product Engineer You might be aware that RTL Compiler has had the ability to synthesize top-down to multi-supply multi-voltages (MSMV) and optimize across them.  Lowering voltage levels can be a great way to reduce switching power, but it comes at the cost of reducing performance.  As we have talked to ...

  • Of Rights & Wrongs: The Bottom-up vs. Top-down Methododology Debate
    By Diego Hammerschlag Sr. Technical Leader Team FED The top-down vs. bottom-up methodology decision is one that design engineers should not take lightly. It carries ramifications throughout the hole flow and can certainly make or break a project if not careful. Such methodology decision can impact:Quality of Silicon (QoS)Equivalency ...
