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 ...
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.

UVM RAL Model: Usage and Application - Design And Reuse
WEBUVM RAL is an object-oriented model for registers inside the design. To access these design registers, UVM RAL provides ready-made base classes and APIs. Some of the RAL model features are: Just like design, it supports different register attributes like R/W, RO, WO, W1C, etc. Supports two different paths for register access, frontdoor and ...
Bounds in Placement - Design And Reuse
WEBBounds in Placement. By Himanshu Bansal. 1. INTRODUCTION: A placement bound is a constraint that controls the placement of groups of leaf cells and hierarchical cells. It allows us to group the cells and minimize the wire length. It helps us to place the cells at the most appropriate location. Many Industries are using this concept, As this can ...
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.
System Verilog Macro: A Powerful Feature for Design Verification …
WEBSV macro is one of the most powerful features out there and if used properly with a thorough understanding and applied wisely in a DV project, it can help to save a lot of time and can make the code more readable and efficient. This paper shows how, using SV macro with the proper syntaxes, a DV engineer can break up the larger complex code in smaller chunk and can reuse it at many places.
LPDDR5X/5/4X/4 combo PHY at 7nm - Design-Reuse.com
WEBThe LPDDR5X/5/4X/4 Combo OPHY introduces support for LPDDR5X speed bins and beyond, on top of the previously supported LPDDR5, 4X, 4 operating modes and speed bins. As with its predecessors, the 7nm LPLDDR5X/5/4X/4 OPHY test chip was brought up quickly in the lab and has achieved 8533 Mbps operation, the current maximum data rate for LPDDR5X ...
Demystifying MIPI C-PHY / DPHY Subsystem - Design And Reuse
WEBFor D-PHY this can be accomplished by using four-lane D-PHY, using 10 wires, each Lane running at 1.0Gbps/lane. To obtain the same aggregate data rate at the same or lower transition rate with C-PHY, we can use two-lanes C-PHY, with 6 wires, running at 0.875Gsps, which is less than the 1.0Gsps for the D-PHY.
