3. Basics of synthesis & Timing Constraints
Topic: Timing Constraints and Timing Closure
They say you are what you eat .The same analogy for VLSI design is quality of the design is quality of the constraints. Timing constraints play a very important role because it sets the tone for every stage of the design flow. When somebody refers to design complexity it is not just design size but also constraints the designer is dealing with. Reviewing constraints and making sure it meets design intent is very important. Better timing constraints lead to better timing closure .
During the session we will cover key timing constraints , impact of these constraints on the design flow, how to fix the constraints issue and also how it helps timing closure.
