Overview

Our physical design and PnR support services are focused on strengthening the interface between front-end design work and back-end implementation. We help teams prepare cleaner handoffs, improve timing and low-power constraint quality, and resolve issues that affect place-and-route efficiency, STA convergence, and signoff confidence. The support can span handoff readiness, SDC refinement, low-power coordination, timing-debug collaboration, and equivalence or ECO-related activities. The goal is to reduce rework during implementation and make the path to physical closure more predictable.
What We Deliver
Clean RTL and netlist handoff preparation for physical design and implementation teams
SDC support, clock definition review, false-path and multicycle-path analysis, and timing exception refinement
Low-power coordination through UPF or CPF alignment, power-domain review, and isolation or retention requirement checks
Timing debug support for setup, hold, and interface-related issues, including RTL-side fix coordination with PD and STA teams
LEC support, ECO review, impact analysis, and verification coordination for design changes near signoff

Key Features

This service is valuable because many implementation delays originate at the boundary between design intent and physical realization. We help close that gap by improving handoff quality, clarifying timing assumptions, aligning low-power intent, and supporting issue resolution in collaboration with PD and STA teams. That front-end awareness can significantly reduce downstream ambiguity. The offering is especially relevant for projects where timing closure, power intent consistency, or ECO impact needs careful coordination. It supports a more disciplined front-end to back-end workflow and helps teams reach implementation milestones with fewer avoidable iterations.
