Normal Approach:

• Handoff design intent (RTL and constraints) in a traditional way, with minimal scrutiny for implementation
• Fine tune implementation through expensive, long and multiple iterations with implementation teams
• Expend verification resources for non-domain specific verification tasks (e.g. clock domain crossings)

Atrenta's Early Design Closure® Approach

• Handoff "scrutinized design intent" - RTL (or structural netlist) and constraints which are scrutinized for achievable and predictable implementation
• Accelerate implementation on correct design specification
• Free up verification engineer's time to focus on domain specific verification

Solution: Atrenta Tools & Methodologies

Atrenta's SpyGlass® and 1Team® product lines form a complete, proven solution to achieve Early Design Closure. Atrenta tools provide an environment to achieve certification of RTL/Netlist and constraints for predictable implementation. These product families address issues with architecture capture, IP import and chip assembly, synthesizability, CDC, power management, constraints management, DFT and area, timing and power estimates. Atrenta's GuideWare™ reference methodologies allow our Early Design Closure solutions to easily fit into your existing design flows.
