Design Rule Checks (DRC) - A Practical View for 28nm Technology
WEBThis whole process is called Design Rule Checking (DRC). There are many design rules at different technology nodes, a few of which are mentioned below. Types of DRCs: Minimum width and spacing for metal. Minimum width and spacing for via. Fat wire Via keep out Enclosure. End of Line spacing. Minimum area.
A Heuristic Approach to Fix Design Rule Check (DRC) Violations in …
WEBThe intent of this paper is to explain the varied kinds of DRCs (Design Rule Checks) that are encountered in the Physical Design flow. This paper will discuss the Metal DRC violations (7nm Technology) generally seen at the block level and outline the practical approach to fix them.
IP-Reuse and Platform Base Designs - Design And Reuse
WEBIP-Reuse and Platform Base Designs. Prevailing IP-Reuse methodologies are based on sharing designs at either Physical level called Hard-IP or at RTL level using HDL models called Soft-IP. Design re-use based on RTL based Soft-IP has been in use for many years now with limited success in certain domains. This paper will analyze the nature of ...

A brief history of FPGA and its relevance to High-Performance Computing. Around the 1980s, computer designs became standardized, making it …
Understanding Logic Equivalence Check (LEC) Flow and Its …
WEBLogic Equivalence Check, popularly known as LEC is one of the most important parts of the ASIC VLSI design. Formal verification techniques have been developed using mathematical proof rather than simulation or test vectors to provide a higher level of verification confidence on properties. For example, the implementation can be either a Verilog ...
I2C Interface Timing Specifications and Constraints - Design And …
WEBI2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) is a serial communication bus interface connection protocol used by devices. Philips Semiconductor created it at first in 1982. The protocol is now widely used for short-distance communication. It uses a two-wire interface with a bidirectional serial data line (SDA) and a unidirectional serial clock line (SCL).

Enhancing VLSI Design Efficiency: Tackling ... - Design And Reuse
WEBThe objective of this paper is to illustrate congestion, shorts, and practical approaches to fix both issues at lower/higher technology nodes. This paper also includes PnR tool (ICC2) related commands and their uses to overcome the mentioned issues.
Layout versus Schematic (LVS) Debug - Design And Reuse
WEBIt needs to be ensured that, the physical implementation of the design is the same as the schematics of the design. For this, the electrical circuit of layout netlist is compared against the schematic netlist, which is known as Layout versus Schematic (LVS). Here IC Validator and IC Compiler-II (SYNOPSYS) tools are used for LVS runs and PnR.
