Book Description
Advanced ASIC Chip Synthesis: Using Synopsys® Design Compiler® and PrimeTime® describes the advanced concepts and techniques used for ASIC chip synthesis, formal verification and static timing analysis, using the Synopsys suite of tools. In addition, the entire ASIC design flow methodology targeted for VDSM (Very-Deep-Sub-Micron) technologies is covered in detail. The emphasis of this book is on real-time application of Synopsys tools used to combat various problems seen at VDSM geometries. Readers will be exposed to an effective design methodology for handling complex, sub-micron ASIC designs. Significance is placed on HDL coding styles, synthesis and optimization, dynamic simulation, formal verification, DFT scan insertion, links to layout, and static timing analysis. At each step, problems related to each phase of the design flow are identified, with solutions and work-arounds described in detail. In addition, crucial issues related to layout, which includes clock tree synthesis and back-end integration (links to layout) are also discussed at length. Furthermore, the book contains in-depth discussions on the basics of Synopsys technology libraries and HDL coding styles, targeted towards optimal synthesis solutions. Advanced ASIC Chip Synthesis: Using Synopsys® Design Compiler® and PrimeTime® is intended for anyone who is involved in the ASIC design methodology, starting from RTL synthesis to final tape-out. Target audiences for this book are practicing ASIC design engineers and graduate students undertaking advanced courses in ASIC chip design and DFT techniques. From the Foreword: `This book, written by Himanshu Bhatnagar, provides a comprehensive overview of the ASIC design flow targeted for VDSM technologies using the Synopsis suite of tools.

Book Description
The main objective of this project is to successfully complete a comparative study of an ASIC design flow using 90 nm SYNOPSYS Design Compiler (DC) to generate the net list of the physical design and then use SYNOPSYS IC Compiler to perform the placement and optimization followed by clock tree synthesis, routing and lastly chip design. This project gives an overview of different types of ASIC, front end and back end design using SYNOPSYS Design Compiler and IC compiler flow. In this project FIFO design flow will be done through the entire flow two times. Firstly, without applying any power techniques optimization through the front end as well as in the back end, and secondly, by applying the low power techniques that can be implemented within SYNOPSYS in the front end as well as in the back end. First synthesis is done in the front end using SYNOPSYS Design Compiler and net list is generated. Then the physical implementation of the design is done using SYNOPSYS IC Compiler. Power optimization using RTL level optimization and setting up power constraints is mainly considered.

Book Description
In today's technological advancements in VLSI industry, the limits of ASICs/FPGA chips in terms of area, power and speed are constantly shrinking. The end user requirements are also influencing these limits and pushing them to a new level on top of all these technological advancements. The effects of nanometer technologies on congestion, signal integrity, crosstalk etc. are becoming more significant as the technology sizes of semiconductor devices continue to decrease. All of these factors are affecting and forcing various technological methodologies throughout the design flow to constantly fight and keep updating the EDA tools to cop-up with these issues. Thus, there is always a need of constant learning and exposure to new advanced EDA tools like Synopsys Design Compiler, IC Compiler, PrimeTime, TetraMax etc. The aim of this project is to successfully complete the ASIC design flow with low power techniques, using the advance industry level tools. This project provides a solid base and practical hands-on experience of these advanced tools. It also provides an overview of types of ASICs, detailed ASIC standard design flow and Synopsys IC compiler flow. Along with this, the analysis of various design factors affecting the performance of the final chip such as power, area and timing is also performed. In this project, a RISC CHIP from Synopsys will be used to perform ASIC design flow and low power methodology.
Logic Synthesis Using Synopsys®

Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
Logic synthesis has become a fundamental component of the ASIC design flow, and Logic Synthesis Using Synopsys® has been written for all those who dislike reading manuals but who still like to learn logic synthesis as practised in the real world. The primary focus of the book is Synopsys Design Compiler®: the leading synthesis tool in the EDA marketplace. The book is specially organized to assist designers accustomed to schematic capture based design to develop the required expertise to effectively use the Compiler. Over 100 `classic scenarios' faced by designers using the Design Compiler have been captured and discussed, and solutions provided. The scenarios are based both on personal experiences and actual user queries. A general understanding of the problem-solving techniques provided will help the reader debug similar and more complicated problems. Furthermore, several examples and dc-shell scripts are provided. Specifically, Logic Synthesis Using Synopsys® will help the reader develop a better understanding of the synthesis design flow, optimization strategies using the Design Compiler, test insertion using the Test Compiler®, commonly used interface formats such as EDIF and SDF, and design re-use in a synthesis-based design methodology. Examples have been provided in both VHDL and Verilog. Audience: Written with CAD engineers in mind to enable them to formulate an effective synthesis-based ASIC design methodology. Will also assist design teams to better incorporate and effectively integrate synthesis with their existing in-house design methodology and CAD tools.

Book Description
This book provides an invaluable primer on the techniques utilized in the design of low power digital semiconductor devices. Readers will benefit from the hands-on approach which starts form the ground-up, explaining with basic examples what power is, how it is measured and how it impacts on the design process of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). The authors use both the Unified Power Format (UPF) and Common Power Format (CPF) to describe in detail the power intent for an ASIC and then guide readers through a variety of architectural and implementation techniques that will help meet the power intent. From analyzing system power consumption, to techniques that can be employed in a low power design, to a detailed description of two alternate standards for capturing the power directives at various phases of the design, this book is filled with information that will give ASIC designers a competitive edge in low-power design.
