Design Equivalence Verification
Ensuring logical consistency across design transformations.
Design Equivalence Verification (DEV) ensures that your synthesized or optimized gate-level netlist exactly matches the functionality of the original RTL design. At MinanoSpace, our DEV team uses formal and simulation-based methodologies to detect any functional mismatches early in the design cycle.
At MinanoSpace, we perform comprehensive RTL-to-Gate (RTL2GATE) and RTL-to-RTL equivalence checks to ensure that synthesis optimizations or technology mapping do not introduce any functional discrepancies. By identifying mismatches early in the design flow, we help clients minimize post-silicon debug efforts and prevent costly re-spins.
With our robust DEV strategies, clients can confidently move from RTL to implementation, ensuring that the final design meets the intended functionality across all design corners and scenarios.
Verify that the synthesized netlist maintains the same functional behavior as the RTL, ensuring correctness post-synthesis and optimization.
Detect functional mismatches between two RTL versions during design iterations or refactoring, ensuring smooth design updates without errors
Use formal verification techniques to mathematically prove equivalence and identify corner-case functional mismatches.
DEV is critical to guarantee that design optimizations, synthesis, or transformations do not alter the intended functionality. Even minor mismatches can lead to post-silicon failures, causing expensive re-spins and delayed time-to-market
MinanoSpace’s DEV approach ensures functional correctness throughout the design flow, enabling confident progression from RTL to gate-level netlist. Accurate equivalence verification improves design reliability, reduces debugging time, and ensures that final silicon performs exactly as intended.
Guarantee that the synthesized or optimized design behaves exactly like the original RTL, preventing unexpected errors.
Identify functional mismatches early in the flow, reducing rework and costly debugging cycles.
Ensure verified, production-ready netlists ready for P&R, STA, or DFT integration without functional risks.
