Get To Know The Gate-Level Power Aware Simulation

The post-synthesis gate-level netlist (GL-netlist) based PA simulation input requirements are mostly the same as RTL simulation. However, the design under verification here is the GL-netlist from ...

SunaptiCAD VeriLogger Extreme: Verilog 2001 simulator provides faster RTL and gate-level simulations

Reducing simulation debugging time, the compiled-code Verilogger Extreme Verilog 2001 simulator provides fast simulation of RTL and gate-level simulations using SDF (Synopsys Delay Format) timing ...

Writing Reusable UPF For RTL And Gate-Level Low Power Verification

The Unified Power Format (UPF) is used to specify the power intent of a design. Once written, the UPF file is applied at every stage of the design cycle — starting with the RTL, then the gate-level, ...

Predictive-Analysis Tool Sniffs Out Gate-Level Problems In RTL Code

Thanks to a fast, built-in synthesis engine, Atrenta's SpyGlass 3.0 predictive-analysis tool detects very complex structural problems in register transfer level (RTL) code that would otherwise only ...
