Clock Path ECO with Prime Time DMSA fix_eco_timing

Find out how Synapse Engineers have been using Prime Time- a golden sign off tool for ASIC signoff tool over the last two years. Prime Time is one of the best tools out there. It works seamlessly in different design flows no matter what implementation tool is used and it does a great job utilizing computer power to help designers speed up the timing signoff. This paper discusses our experiences as we overcame leftover violations after PT_ECO and found new ways to work with Prime Time for the clock path ECO.

UVM Harness Whitepaper

An exciting look at how a UVM Harness can be used to stitch all signals to interface in large scale projects, reducing error margins and effort. Find out how we use a collection of wires with at least two connectors at each end, to connect your module to the UVM environment. Our tests have proved that UVM Harnesses can help boost productivity and eliminate test bench connectivity problems in large scale projects.

Steering Through Verification Challenges of USB 3.0-Based SoC Using Cadence VIP

As the technology innovation marches forward, new kinds of devices, medium (internet of things), media formats and large inexpensive storage are converging. They required significantly higher bandwidth than the tradition technologies and protocols. USB3 addresses these needs by achieving higher data transfer speeds that are up to 10 times faster than the previous version of the standard, enabling rapid and efficient transfers of data to and from external storage and multimedia devices. USB3.0 utilizes a dual-bus architecture that provides backward compatibility with USB2.0.

Synapse Design Position Paper - Low Power SOC Design Integration Issues

Multi-power domain SOCs are complex and present new integration challenges because many blocks have different operating modes at different voltages, different clock period and duty cycles of each block being awake, asleep or in shutdown mode. We must pay more attention to applications that dictate modes of operations, power and battery life requirements.
