Everything about Design flow

Suite of electronic design tools

Design flows, often known as RTL to GDSII, are the explicit combination of electronic design automation tools to accomplish the design of an integrated circuit. They start with a textual description of the proposed chip operation, written in a register transfer level (RTL) language such as Verilog. These are converted to a netlist by a logic synthesis tool, and the resulting gates are then placed, and routed. The result is an image of the chip to be fabricated, typically in the GDSII format.
