Pay more attention to the interface to the macros, memories etc... Those can easily decrease your coverage. Always generate the bist wrapper for memories with bypass mode implemented.
Re: Will metal fill or dummy metal be fabricated at found
It's all about your yield, foundry is just foundry, if you want, you can ask them to manufacture a PG short gds, as long as you pay for it. I used to tapeout a design with thousands of antenna violations to meet the TTM.
Re: Magma Blast and Talus
Talus was branched out from Blast during the law suit between M@gm@ and syn0psys several years ago, It's M@gm@'s back-up just in case, after years, all the enhancement, later on development went into T@lus, and some went into Bl@st, and m@gm@ intended to give-up Bl@st...
Actually the timing engineer inside the PT and Astro is totally different, but any of the Astro release you are using is at least 92% correlated with PT(Synopsys internally will pass large amount of regression test cases before releasing, 92% is the number that they have to pass). If you want to...
Depends on your reset stratedgy and reset circuit.
Long latency won't slow down your chip speed, but it will slow down your chip interface timing in general.
If you move to 90/65nm, long clock latency is critical to your design, you need to make it as short as possible.
actually it's a quite...
PC+Astro > BlastFusion > SoCEncounter in terms of overall QoR, but Nanoroute is the best router in the world!
IC Compiler did better job than PC+Astro in our test cases.
Talus is under evaluation, no data.
If you are looking for performance, budget is not your concern, go for Synopsys, stable...
calibre lvs case sensitive
If in your design, you have net "A" and "a" which are different nets logically, than you need to turn on the case sensitive on(That is the bad design style, you should avoid it). other-wise, turn off the case sensitive. go back to your questions, if your design has...
SoCEncouter is the worst PHysical implementation tool(except for routing) among the 3 eda vendors(cadence, synopsys, magma).
As to the semicustom design, it depends your design scope and flow, magma is very flexable, but layout editing is a big con. The biggest advantage you can get from the...
Re: Top-block layout clean in LVS calibre but not in Hercule
Oh, I see. Then it must because of the pin swap, there are some options you can set in both calibre and hercules to ignore it.
