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 ...

As today’s designs become more complex, so too do their constraints. Design functionality typically gets a lot of attention – through code review, functional verification, etc. However, the ...

For example, Crown, the award-winning forklift manufacturer, leads the industry through a commitment to design innovation. It does so through an approach that focuses on the humanto-forklift ...

One of the key factors in the design and development of submicron chip designs is the setting of good physical and timing constraints, no matter what type of design methodology you use. Constraints ...

Since the dawn of PCB usage, constraints have been an important part of the design. What are the dimensions? What weight of copper? Now, constraints have become much more than just physical dimensions ...

Today’s FPGAs are larger and more complex than ever, and defining and applying correct design constraints is one of the biggest challenges. When the design fails to meet the timing performance ...

In this paper we introduce a method for platform-based design and integration of a System on Chip (SoC) using a centralized design meta-database from which all related design data such as EDA tool ...
