Design Rule Checks (DRC) - A Practical View for 28nm Technology
This 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.
Bounds in Placement - Design And Reuse
Bounds 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 ...
Demystifying MIPI C-PHY / DPHY Subsystem - Design And Reuse
For 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.

Understanding Logic Equivalence Check (LEC) Flow and Its …
Logic 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 ...
System Verilog Assertions Simplified - Design And Reuse
System Verilog Assertions Simplified. By Smit Patel, eInfochips. Abstract. Assertion is a very powerful feature of System Verilog HVL (Hardware Verification Language). Nowadays it is widely adopted and used in most of the design verification projects. This article explains the concurrent assertions syntaxes, simple examples of their usage and ...
System Verilog Macro: A Powerful Feature for Design Verification …
SV 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.
