What is synthesis flow? What are the checks performed to ensure the netlist quality? What is synthesis? Synthesis transforms the RTL code of design modules into a gate-level netlist. This stage ...

Engineering Change Order or ECO is the process of inserting logic directly into the gate level netlist corresponding to a change that occurs in the rtl due to design ...

For ASIC chips, the RTL soft core and other RTL associated with the design are synthesized into a gate-level netlist. Based on the netlist, the logic gates are placed and routed and then turned ...

Changing RTL can create a verification nightmare. Automatic optimizations during the synthesis flow—backed up by strong formal verification between the gate-level netlist and the RTL—is considered the ...
