Introduction :
 
Socle has developed an "RTL2Silicon" service to optimize your SoC design, maximize the productivity of your engineering and minimize the potential risk of your project
Socle can guarantee your SoC project by meeting both schedule target and performance goal
   
Why RTL2Silicon :
 
Socle, the leading provider of SoC platform based solution & service, has developed a design implementation platform SoC-ImP®" for setting up the standards of the SoC design implementation, that includes
  An advanced design methodology and flow which adopt physical synthesis technology, hierarchical design methods and provide solutions for timing/power/DFT/signal integrity & reliability requirements

A systematic kernel which integrates project management, flow management, script generator and result analyzer to control the sequence of design implementation processes

A secured database management of library, IP and design database
SoC-ImP ®" provides a predictable & derivative mechanism, which is composed of systematic process, configurable script database, accumulated EDA tool experiences and Socle's own methodologies and expertise for the challenges in VDSM era
