Synopsys Webinar | Wednesday, June 21, 2023 | 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. PDT
When designers synthesize chip designs with aggressive PPA targets, the expectation and goal is to be able to complete verification with minimal effort and a fast turn-around-time. Synopsys Design Compiler and Fusion Compiler offer a broad spectrum of

To achieve maximal quality of results (QoR) in synthesis, it requires leveraging retiming, multibit banking, and advanced datapath optimizations, which are part of the Synopsys Fusion Compiler™ implementation solution. However, during the late-stage functional

LSI is an early adopter of Formality Ultra, Synopsys’s tool for improving the entire ECO flow. I already wrote about the basic capability of the tool here. ECOs are changes that come very late in the design cycle, after place and route has already been “nearly” completed. They occur either due to last minute spec… Read More
One of the most challenging stages in an SoC design is achieving timing closure. Actually design closure is perhaps a better term since everything needs to come together such as clock tree, power nets, power budget and so on. Changes made to the design are known as ECOs (which stands for engineering change orders, a term that comes… Read More
