RTL-to-GDS Digital Implementation
Aprisa Digital Implementation Solution
Designing at advanced process nodes requires managing the increasing chip’s complexity, shorter schedules and higher development costs. Aprisa’s detail-route-centric architecture delivers on these challenges with faster design closure and more predictable PPA for RTL-to-GDS flows.
Accelerate SoC design with place-and-route technology
Aprisa digital implementation is an RTL-to-GDS solution that offers complete synthesis and place-and-route functionality for top-level hierarchical designs and block-level implementation. It's tapeout quality correlation with signoff tools, both for STA timing and DRC, reduces design closure and ensures optimal performance, power and area (PPA).
Aprisa Digital Implementation Solution
Aprisa offers complete RTL-to-GDS support including physically-aware RTL synthesis. Its detail-route-centric architecture with unified hierarchical data model and shared foundation engines, plus built-in AI technologies, deliver faster, more predictable PPA closure and rapid ramp-up to productivity.
RTL-to-GDS for complex IC designs
Aprisa offers complete functionality for top-level hierarchical design and block-level implementation for complex digital designs. Its detail-route-centric architecture, unified hierarchical data model and shared foundation engines enable fast design closure and optimal quality of results (QoR).
Aprisa’s detailed-route-centric architecture and unified hierarchical data model enables efficient and frequent communication between physically-aware RTL synthesis, placement optimization, CTS optimization, and detailed routing for improved quality-of-results, reduced iterations, and faster design convergence.
In-hierarchy optimization (iHO) performs timing closure at the top level and block level simultaneously, eliminating the need for timing re-budgeting or design flattening. This makes it possible to minimize the number of ECO iterations, resulting in a reduction of timing closure effort, from weeks to days.
Aprisa AI boost by 10x the productivity for designers, with ML / RL technologies for design exploration, generative AI for tool know-how and command execution assist, and AI Agents for effort intensive design tasks. It’s intelligent tuning algorithms converge on the best implementation strategy, while using computing resources 3x more efficiently, achieving 10% better design PPA, and reducing the project’s time-to-tapeout.
Aprisa digital implementation software benefits
Aprisa delivers optimal PPA out-of-the-box. This helps physical designers reduce the effort at each step of the RTL-to-GDS flow and achieve faster time-to-market.
Faster, more predictable PPA closure
Aprisa maintains detailed routing information on the critical nets throughout the RTL-to-GDS flow, reducing the number of design iterations and achieving faster design closure.
AI technologies to boost productivity
Aprisa AI redefines RTL-to-GDS digital implementation by seamlessly integrating AI at the core of the flow. Automatic design exploration, built-in natural language interface and AI Agent capabilities, to boost productivity.
Quality of signoff correlation
Aprisa’s correlation with the industry’s standard signoff tools achieves design PPA faster by eliminating the need for extra guard bands, and reducing the number of ECO iterations, resulting in a shorter time to signoff closure.
Best power for power-sensitive designs
PowerFirst mode in Aprisa enables designers to implement for best power first, and then converge with best performance. This technique, achieves better power for power-centric designs, without sacrificing performance.
Aprisa resource library
Whether physical designers are looking to implement highly complex designs or to tapeout in the shortest amount of time, Aprisa operates mostly out-of-the-box to deliver the PPA and design metrics that matter most, for any given digital IC design project.
