 Engineering change orders (ECOs) are a time of high stress, long work hours, and uncertainty. Even if the logic change is implemented in the netlist, there might not be enough spare gates on the mask to implement the change. Encounter® Conformal® ECO Designer is a unique technology that combines logic equivalence checking (for the most complex SoC and datapath-intensive designs) with functional ECO analysis, ECO logic optimization, and design netlist modification. With such a complete and automated ECO solution that covers the entire RTL-to-GDSII flow, design teams benefit from the highest quality ECOs and more predictably achieve design convergence.
Features/Benefits
- Accelerates turnaround time by minimizing manual intervention and eliminating time-consuming iterations
- Generates early estimates on ECO feasibility based on design intent input, preventing schedule delays
- Shortens design cycles by enabling earlier design netlist signoff to back-end physical implementation
- Offers the flexibility to do ECOs with metal-only layers, thus reducing manufacturing costs
- Reduces verification time by verifying multimillion-gate designs much faster than traditional gate-level simulation
- Decreases the risk of missing critical bugs through independent verification technologies
