A significant paradigm shift in design methodology is taking place with RTL design handoff. Shrinking process nodes, increasing SoC design complexities, and tightened purse strings have made the ...

The RTL Architect product represents the industry's first physically aware RTL analysis, optimization, and signoff system built on a fast, multi-dimensional prediction engine for superior RTL handoff ...

If you are one of the more than 2 billion smartphone users today, it is hard to imagine life without one! Breaking new frontiers, wearable smart devices and the Internet of things are the latest buzz.

The Tessent RTL Pro enables analysis and insertion of a large majority of their DFT logic very early in the design flow, performing quick synthesis and then running ATPG (automatic test pattern ...

Synopsys is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. This also means that availability of commercial logic synthesis is turning 25 years old. This paper looks at the history of logic ...

Commercial power analysis tools have been available now for over 10 years, operating at the gate and transistor level of abstraction. For analog, mixed-signal, and custom designs, transistor-level ...

Generally speaking, there are only so many books I can read on RTL design before my eyes start to glaze over. Having said this, there’s the occasional gem that’s well worth a read, such as Principles ...

In its new Joules RTL Design Studio tool, Cadence Design Systems aims to provide users with information that will lead to a speedier register-transfer-level (RTL) design and implementation process.

Siemens Digital Industries Software has unveiled the Tessent RTL Pro, a software solution developed to help integrated circuit (IC) design teams streamline and accelerate a broad array of critical ...
