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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
