Course Description

The Conformal^® ECO Designer combines logic equivalence checking (for the most complex SoC and datapath-intensive designs) with functional ECO analysis and generation, design netlist modification, clock domain synchronization, and semantics checks. With a complete ECO solution that spans different parts of the RTL-to-GDSII flow, design teams benefit from automation, predictability, and the highest-quality ECOs. This course provides an in-depth look at the software along with hands-on experience required to use the tool.

Learning Objectives

After completing this course, you will be able to:

• Explore the many options and capabilities of Conformal ECO
• Use Conformal Engineering Change Order (ECO) for flat and hierarchical designs
• Generate a functional ECO patch, apply it to a design, optimize it, and map it to a specified technology
• Run a hierarchical design through ECO and run a comparison to prove the ECO is equivalent
• Run a postmask ECO using Conformal ECO GXL
