Re: ASIC Design flow
Hello dhaval,
ASIC flow .....
specification---->behavioural description---->simulation---->synthesis--->gate level netlist is obtained--->flooorplanning (includes power planning)--->placement--->trail route--->rc extraction--->delay calculation--->timing analysis--->clock tree synthesis--->timing optimization(with propagated clock)--->detailed routing--->power analysis--->DRC/LVS--->gds2.
During synthesis optimization can be done for area or timing.By default tool does optimization for area.
