Design compiler

What is DC shell?

Synthesizing a RTL Design

1. Use the provided Xilinx Design Constraint (XDC) file to constrain the timing of the circuit
2. Elaborate on the design and understand the output
3. Synthesize the design with the provided basic timing constraints
4. Analyze the output of the synthesized design

What is IC Compiler?

IC Compiler fixes the placement of the clock sinks, performs incremental logic and placement optimization, and fixes the placement of both the buffers and registers on the clock tree.
To perform clock tree synthesis and optimization, choose CTS \x26gt; Core CTS and Optimization in the GUI..

What is the difference between IC Compiler and design compiler?

Design Compiler (DC) and Physical Compiler (PC) are synthesis tools while IC Compiler is place and route tool.
Design compiler uses wire load model (WLM) to account wire delays.
Wire load models contain all the information required by compiler to estimate interconnect wiring delays..
