What is RTL netlist?

RTL : Functionality of device written in language like Verilog, VHDL. Its called RTL if it can be synthesized that is it can be converted to gate level description. Netlist: You get a netlist after you synthesize a RTL. This is gate level description of the device.

What is RTL coding in Verilog?

RTL is an acronym for register transfer level. This implies that your Verilog code describes how data is transformed as it is passed from register to register. The transforming of the data is performed by the combinational logic that exists between the registers.

How can design rule checks be applied in lower technology nodes?

This question is often asked in context to explain how design rule checks can be applied in lower technology nodes on the block and full-chip level. Design rule checks are nothing but physical checks of metal width, pitch, and spacing requirement for the different layers which depend on different technology nodes.

What is design verification and why does it matter?

Again, according to the FDA, design verification is “confirmation by examination and provision of objective evidence that specified requirements have been fulfilled.” Keep in mind that while it will involve testing, there are other acceptable verification activities.

What does verification of the product requirements mean?

Verification of the product requirements, as above, shows that the product does what we said it would do. Verification of the design specifications, which we’ll show next, shows that the product does it the way we said it would do it. A turbine that can generate 40 liters of air per minute.

What is physical design in VLSI?

Read the article. In VLSI, physical design (is also known as integrated circuit layout) is a process in which the front end design transfer the structural netlist to the back end design team to convert into a physical layout database which consists of geometrical design information for all the physical layers which is used for interconnections.
