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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ...
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 ...
Understanding Shmoo Plots and Various Terminology of Testers
WEB3. Wall Shmoo. Wall Shmoo depicts a failure at a certain voltage irrespective of any variation in frequency. This kind of Shmoo leads to indicate the problem of noise coupling, race condition, and charge sharing. The noise can be aggravated by higher di/dt (higher inductance) and dv/dt (higher capacitive coupling).
Enhancing VLSI Design Efficiency: Tackling ... - Design And Reuse
