Strategy To Fix Register-to-Register Timing For large Feedthrough Blocks Having Limited Internal Pipelines

Feedthrough blocks are the communication channels present at the top chip level with many hierarchical blocks to ensure smooth interaction between two or more blocks. They act as a channel to facilitate inter block interaction, hence the shape and size of these blocks cannot be changed. Feedthrough blocks are a part of big digital sequential synchronous design, which consists of multiple inputs, multiple stages of registers and multiple outputs. Its purpose is to carry the input signal to the output stage, through registers, within a single clock cycle. Read More

Customer Speak

“Xfinity home is a very complex product. eInfochips helped us in dealing with complexities from a testing perspective. One of the reasons why we have been working with eInfochips, and for them being so successful for us is that they have a keen sense of ownership. They owned the full, end to end test plan of testing for some of the key features of Comcast for our customers. That is something that comes from the trust we have developed over 10 years.”
