What are the tools used in the ASIC design flow?

[khouly]

i want to know the tools used in asic flow
from synthisis to auto place and route

from cadence
thanks

asic flow

NC-Sim --> Simulation
Build Gates --> Synthesis
Silicon Ensemble --> GDSII

Re: asic flow

asic flow :
RTL simulation ---> RTL synthesis ---> P&R
tools:
RTL simulation : cadence's NC-sim or synopsys' VCS etc
RTL synthesis : synopsys' DC
P&R: candence's SE or avanti's apollo or astro etc
others:
CTS , Prime Time etc

Re: asic flow

what is cadence SOC

Have a look at this link:

https://www.cadence.com/products/digital_ic/soc_encounter/index.aspx

I believe this is the tool you asked for.

Re: asic flow

Asic Flow i.e verilog code to GDS II or layout using CADENCE TOOLS

RTL simulation : Cadence NC-sim, RTL compiler
RTL Synthesis: Cadence PKS/ Buildgates /RTL compiler
Place & Riute : Cadence SoC Encounter

For more details log on to Cadence homepage
"Cadence home/product/digital IC design"

here u will get all type of information related all design steps.

Re: asic flow

hi,
encounter is not only a tools, but also a powerful platform.
it includes rlt/virtual prototyping/floorplan/place/ipo/cts/route/extraction/and little drc.
but it's very expensive!

Re: asic flow

u got MAGMA BLAST CREATE and BLAST FUSION for RTL to GDSII,
the fastest to wayout tapeout

asic flow

what is exact expansion of SOC,PKS,SOC GPS, TSI

Re: asic flow

Hi,

SoC : System on Chip
PKS : Physically Knowldgeble Synthesis tool
GPS : Global Physical Synthesis tool
SI : Signal Integrity

Note: For more details log on to Cadence homepage
"Cadence home/product/digital IC design" or Google it

asic flow

pc flow:
modelsim or vcs
synplify
ledit
these softwares are available from webs!

Re: asic flow

you can use Cadence/First encounter : partitioning-> floorplaning -> placement -> CTS -> routing ->

asic flow

you can communicate cadence service for the lastest production introduction.
