Case Study
Case Study on VLSI Design
 
A low-power, ARM based wireless System-on-Chip design is taken through integration, physical design and manufacturing handoff
 
 
The customer
The customer was a leading designer of systems-on-chip and ICs for use in wireless and broadband communication systems.
 
The challenge
The challenge was Wipro’s design execution that involved RTL synthesis all the way to GDSII and foundry support for silicon tapeout with TSMC’s 0.18-micron technology.
 
The solution

The scope of the design included chip level synthesis, scan/test structure insertion, equivalence checking and physical synthesis along with floor-planning, clocktree generation, timing analysis, place and route and physical verification.

Project highlights were:
Low power System-on-Chip design
Integrated single-pass physical design flow
Physical synthesis versus wireload-based synthesis, thus ensuring better timing correlation between pre-layout and post-layout design
Design For Test executed in the physical design stage
 
The benefit
The project involved leveraging on two of Wipro’s key alliances – the design partnership with ARM, that helped us give the customer the benefit of extensive know-how on the ARM technology, and the alliance with the leading foundry TSMC, that helped us manage and support the customer’s tape-out successfully.
