Synthesis / Layout / Timing
As a turnkey ASIC design services provider, eInfochips offers RTL to GDSII services for highly complex chips using state of the art ASIC physical design flow and EDA tools. Our ASIC Physical Design services include Synthesis / Layout / Timing, Floor Planning, Chip Layout Verification, DFT implementation, EM Analysis, Power Analysis, Design Rule Check (DRC), Layout versus Schematic Check (LVS), Antenna Check etc. eInfochips' ASIC Back-end design services provides various signoff throughout RTL to GDSII implementation flow such as RTL signoff, Library signoff, Timing Constraint signoff, Design For Testability signoff, RTL Synthesis signoff, Power & IR Drop signoff, Floorplanning signoff, Prototyping signoff, Clock Tree signoff, Final ASIC Layout signoff. We perform netlist to GDSII services and associated IC layout services including IC layout signoff services using industry standard EDA tools from Synopsys, Magma, Cadence, Mentor Graphics, and Apache to ensure the quality of tapeout. For Static Timing Analysis, eInfochips has in-depth tool expertise in PrimeTime and Timing Signoff experience with more than a dozen large SoC designs. We have proven expertise in low power chip design with clock and power gating, voltage scaling, multiple power domains, multi VT library.
The industry is progressing towards ultra-deep sub micron technology nodes in order to encompass more features into a small device, but at the same time both the system and chip complexities are growing steadily too. These challenges demand a well-defined flow in order to meet the quick turnaround requirements of customers without compromising on the quality.
eInfochips has successfully delivered multimillion gate count IC layout designs with IC layout services in multiple industry verticals that includes networking chip physical design, wireless chip physical design, automotive chip physical design, consumer / multimedia chip physical design and processor chip physical design. Our in-depth knowledge of chip layout challenges (i.e. Timing, Die size and power closure using hierarchical flow, Block partitioning, Congestion, IR drop, Slew requirement, signal integrity etc.) helps us to achieve the highest levels of reliability and first-pass silicon success. Also through combination of Layout Migration, Die Size Reduction, and Clock Speed Improvement, Our IC layout services enable customer to reduce cost of derivative SoCs.
