Introduction

NavisPro is the power and the timing aware RTL design planning solution which predicts and prevents the physical implementation problems. It provides SoC design planning solution to find the optimal number of power pads and their locations to meet the target IR-drop and Simultaneous Switching Noise (SSN) margin in the early design stage. NavisPro enables designers to minimize the unnecessary design iterations and to achieve the time to market of the SoC designs.Hierarchical floorplanning unique solutions to resolve the complexity problem of SoC designs. It also provides hierarchical floorplanning the full chip design is partitioned into many sub-systems. Each sub-subsystems layout is implemented independently. In this design environment, the chip partitioning includes the physical hierarchical partitions of the design and the pin placements of each sub-systems. The pin placement of sub-system is one of the critical constraints of sub-system layout and it determines the quality of the full-chip level routing congestion. In modern SoC designs, many processors are used in a single chip. The accurate estimation of the bus interconnect timings between sub-systems are critical for the timing closure. The estimation of the interface net timing across the design hierarchy is very useful feature for the full chip level interface net timing.
