Synthesized Netlist

Also known as a gate-level netlist. It contains all the gate level information and the connection between these gates. It can be flat or hierarchical. Flat Netlist contains only one module with all the information. Hierarchical netlist contains a number…

Physical Design Inputs

Before going into all the physical design inputs in details, I want to make you understand the block level design and Full Chip Level design (FC). Mostly, partition owners are assigned with the block-level design to work on one partition…

Physical Design Flow

The physical design flow in VLSI is a critical phase in chip design, following the synthesis stage. This flow transforms the synthesized design into a physical layout, which can be fabricated on silicon. The steps in this process are intricate,…
