What is synthesis flow? What are the checks performed to ensure the netlist quality? What is synthesis? Synthesis transforms the RTL code of design modules into a gate-level netlist. This stage ...

Mentor’s physical RTL synthesis tools, including RealTime Designer and next-generation products, have the unique technology to pull placement ahead of synthesis and address the need for RTL ...

Figure 1: RTL Code Examples with Enable As shown in Figure 1, when an “explicit” clock enable exists in the RTL code, synthesis tools may choose between two possible implementations. The ...

But after High-Level Synthesis (HLS), teams need a way to quickly ensure that the newly-generated RTL is functionally the same as the original untimed C++. They don’t want to create an RTL testbench ...
