Synopsys Design Compiler Tutorial 2021 [work] 🎁 Must Read

Synopsys Design Compiler (DC) converts high-level RTL (Verilog/VHDL) into optimized gate-level netlists, utilizing Topographical Mode for accurate, pre-layout timing and area estimation. The synthesis flow involves setting up technology libraries, applying Synopsys Design Constraints (SDC), compiling for optimization, and verifying with timing and power reports. For a detailed tutorial on the synthesis process, see this guide. Design Compiler: Timing, Area, Power, & Test Optimization
