RTL Design & Architecture
Turn architectural specs into synthesis-ready RTL — on time, on spec, clean enough for sign-off.
Overview
Our RTL design team architects and implements digital blocks from micro-architecture through synthesis. We handle everything from simple peripheral controllers to complex multi-clock-domain SoC subsystems. Every design goes through lint, CDC, and synthesis checks before handoff — because tape-out surprises are expensive.
Key Capabilities
Micro-architecture Definition
Translating high-level functional specs into detailed block-level micro-architecture documents with trade-off analysis.
RTL Coding (Verilog & SystemVerilog)
Writing clean, synthesizable, lint-clean RTL following industry coding standards. Parameterized, reusable, and well-commented.
Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) Design
Safe CDC techniques — synchronizers, FIFOs, handshake protocols. Full CDC analysis and reporting before synthesis.
Lint, CDC & Synthesis
Running SpyGlass Lint, CDC checks, and synthesis with target libraries. No surprises at the back-end handoff.
Our Process
- 1Spec review and micro-architecture document
- 2RTL implementation with weekly code reviews
- 3Lint clean → CDC analysis → synthesis → equivalence check
- 4Formal property verification on critical paths
- 5Handoff package: RTL, constraints, synthesis reports
Tools & Technologies
Deliverables
- Synthesizable RTL (Verilog / SystemVerilog)
- SDC timing constraints
- Lint and CDC reports (clean)
- Synthesis reports (timing, area, power)
- Micro-architecture document
Case Study
Peripheral Controller IP
Designed and delivered a suite of synthesizable peripheral controllers — I2C, SPI, and UART — with full CDC analysis, lint-clean RTL, and synthesis reports. The IP blocks are reusable across multiple projects and serve as training reference designs for our academy students.
