In IC physical design, there is a tendency to focus on the synthesis and layout tasks, and to not give much consideration to the chip finishing tasks, at least not until the more pressing matters of ...

One of the key factors in the design and development of submicron chip designs is the setting of good physical and timing constraints, no matter what type of design methodology you use. Constraints ...

Growing design sizes, low power (LP) complexity and the need for early stage verification is making designers adopt hierarchical verification flows. Traditionally for hierarchical verification, ...

FPGA devices have grown to ASIC size and complexity, but traditional EDA tools and methodologies have failed to keep pace. Engineers designing high-end FPGAs are beginning to face the types of ...
