Pre and Post-Synthesis Simulation,s perform functional simulation prior to synthesis. After synthesis, gate level simulation is performed on the netlist generated by synthesis. This chapter has been included to provide a better understanding of the synthesis-based ASIC design flow. Since the focus of this book is primarily synthesis

,Constraining and Optimizing Designs — I, HDL and functionally simulated, the next step involves logic synthesis using DC. Herein lies the core of the synthesis process. How can one get the best results from the synthesis tool? What is the methodology to be followed in optimizing a design? Is synthesis a push-button solution? This chapter

FPGA Synthesis,PGAs have grown from a tiny market niche to a significant portion of the IC market. The complexity and speed of the FPGAs available in the market has been increasing at a rapid pace. Simultaneously, the cost per gate of FPGAs has been fast decreasing. The Synopsys . has been developed primarily to t

Design for Testability,sulted in testable designs becoming a greater priority. Thus far, designers have considered testability as an issue which comes into play at the very end of the design cycle. However, in the ASIC design flow based on synthesis, it is essential that designers develop a test strategy and address testa

,Behavioral Synthesis — An Introduction,commercially available. However, a large percentage of logic designers still follow schematic capture based design methodology. This clearly raises some extremely pertinent issues. Are behavioral synthesis tools ahead of their times? Are these tools easy to use? How do these tools fit into the ASIC
