Course Description
(Note: This course is based on the Stylus Common UI)
Virtuoso® Digital Implementation is a complete and automatic synthesis/place-and-route system. It enables capacity-limited block implementation for small digital components in the context of an advanced analog-driven mixed-signal design.
In this course, you learn the basics of synthesis and digital implementation by using the Virtuoso Digital Implementation software. You will explore synthesis, floorplanning, placement, power planning, clock-tree synthesis, timing optimization, and detail routing using VDI.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Run the recommended RTL synthesis flow
- Constrain designs and optimize for timing and power
- Floorplan the design
- Run placement, optimization and timing analysis
- Run clock-tree synthesis, detail routing and verification
- Run Stylus Flow Generation to automate the implementation flow
