Automatic Test Pattern Generation and Automatic Test Pattern Generator (ATPG) is an electronic design automation method/technology used to find an input (or test) sequence that, when applied to a digital circuit, enables automatic test equipment to distinguish between the correct circuit behavior and the faulty circuit behavior caused by defects. Earlier we presented a tutorial on ATPG for Combinational Circuits. This tutorial focuses on ATPG for sequential circuits

Here, we will discuss the tutorials on how to synthesize a Verilog code starting from simulation, syntax checking, code coverage using CADENCE EDA tool. Basic Simulation on CADENCE Linting Code Coverage Logic Equivalence Check Genus Synthesis without Constraints Genus Synthesis with Constraints Genus Synthesis using Scripts Static Timing Analysis using Cadence Tempus +20
In our earlier tutorials [GENUS Synthesis With Constraints, GENUS Synthesis Without Constraints] on synthesis of Verilog files using Cadence Genus tool, we have seen how synthesis can be performed with or without timing constraints. But it is very painful to perform synthesis operation by executing commands one by one in the command prompt. Thus industry

This tutorial is in continuation with our previous tutorial on Genus Synthesis Without Constraints (Timing Constraints). The timing constraints are written in Synopsys Design Constraint (SDC) file. 1. Open the terminal and type csh 2. Source the cadence.cshrc. 3. In ASIC lab folder, make a new directory. In this, make design.v (in this example counter.v).
