Functional Design and Verification

Design is considered to be the creation of this RTL description, which feeds a logic synthesis flow. Logic synthesis forms the bridge into the implementation flow, which deals with issues such as the ...

From Behavioral to RTL Design Flow in SystemC

This paper reports the scientific collaboration between LLR and PROSILOG. The aim of this collaboration was to show the possibility to quickly implement a system into a FPGA, using SystemC 4 as the ...

Compiling FPGA netlists for formal verification

Multi-million gate system-on-a–chip (SoC) designs easily fit into today’s FPGAs. Due to the ever increasing demand for more speed, less area, and less power, the transformation of a customer’s RTL ...

Throttle IP Core Power Dissipation: Use RTL Power Analysis Early and Often

Because today’s System-On-Chip (SOC) designs contain millions of transistors, design engineers must treat power dissipation as an important design goal for IP blocks and not as just a data-sheet ...
