# Basic compile compile # For better results in modern nodes (Topographical) compile_ultra Use code with caution.
Do you have a specific or library file you're trying to synthesize right now?
Mapping GTECH to specific cells from your Target Library. synopsys design compiler tutorial 2021
Synthesis is not just "translating" code. It is an optimization process that balances the trinity: Power, Performance, and Area. The basic workflow involves:
Used to resolve references (e.g., pre-existing IP blocks or pads). 3. Loading the Design # Basic compile compile # For better results
Once the synthesis is finished, you must verify if your constraints were met. report_timing (Check for Setup/Hold violations). Area: report_area (Check gate count and physical size). Constraint Violations: report_constraint -all_violators . 7. Exporting the Netlist
create_clock -name my_clk -period 10 [get_ports clk] set_input_delay 2.0 -clock my_clk [all_inputs] set_output_delay 1.5 -clock my_clk [all_outputs] Use code with caution. Synthesis is not just "translating" code
In 2021, most designs use or Topographical mode . This mode uses physical data (like floorplan info) to predict wire delays more accurately than the old "Wire Load Models."
write -format verilog -hierarchy -output "my_design_netlist.v" write_sdc "my_design_final.sdc" Use code with caution. Pro-Tips for 2021 Synthesis:
Converting RTL to an unoptimized boolean representation (GTECH).
