Maintaining completeness, correctness and consistency of design constraints is a challenge that is pervasive in the design flow. Multiple transformations, or touch points (as illustrated in the ...

Analog integrated circuits (ICs) are used to control and regulate conditions such as temperature, speed, sound, and electrical current. In analog ICs, voltage and current vary continuously at ...

As the complexity of designs has scaled, the need to provide accurate physical constraints like timing, area, power and port locations has become very important. Of these, timing constraints are the ...

This paper describes an innovative methodology that makes use of XML-based IP descriptions, including constraints information, to produce automatically synthesis, STA and formal verification tool ...
