  • Publication number: 20250077751
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are described for generating synthesizable netlists from register transfer level (RTL) designs to aid with semiconductor device design. These netlists provide RTL design information corresponding to a portion of a semiconductor device. A configuration tracer generates behavior information associated with the RTL design. A register compiler compiles a set of semiconductor devices based on one or more technologies and power, performance, and area (PPA) information related to the semiconductor device. Semiconductor devices generated by the register compiler that meet predefined power, performance, and area conditions are identified. Structural information for aligning the input/output ports of the semiconductor device is generated.

  • Publication number: 20240160820
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for attribute-point-based timing formal verification of application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and system on chip (SoC) designs. A target circuit design having a first set of netlists and timing constraints is received. A plurality of key clock-pin-net-load-setting attributes are extracted from the first ported netlists and timing constraints. The clock-pin-net-load-setting attribute mismatch in the result report is checked between the target circuit design and a golden circuit design by comparing the plurality of target attributes with a plurality of golden attributes of the golden circuit design after the target design database is loaded for static timing analysis (STA).
