Synopsys Design Compiler Tutorial 2021 ((better)) [ 480p - 360p ]

For timing simulation (back-annotated simulation).

With low-power design being ubiquitous, DC supports UPF for defining power domains, isolation cells, and level shifters. synopsys design compiler tutorial 2021

: Converts the RTL into a generic, technology-independent boolean representation. II. Applying Constraints For timing simulation (back-annotated simulation)

If you are using , you can generate "physical guidance" data (like placement congestion estimates) before handing off to the router. This requires the physical libraries (LEF files) to be loaded during setup. synopsys design compiler tutorial 2021

Before launching Design Compiler, the environment must be configured correctly. This involves pointing the tool to the technology libraries (standard cell libraries) and setting up the license.
