Physical Design Solution
Introduction :
 
To meet complex SoC design implementation requirements, Socle introduces the Physical Design Solution to overcome those frequently-encountered challenges see below, for UDSM SoC design.
How to strongly link timed closure, power grid analysis and signal integrity solutions?
How to handle DFM related rules to avoid layout pattern variation resulting in metal damage caused decreases in chip yield?
How to handle customized IP integration?
With Physical Design Solution derived from SoC-ImP ® technology, a more secure and comprehensive integrated implementation platform solution shall be introduced by Socle for a successful SoC customer.
