Methods, systems, and apparatus for reliability synthesis

摘要

In one embodiment of the invention, a method of synthesizing a circuit design is disclosed including receiving an input model of an initial circuit design into an electronic design automation system; receiving a user specification detailing a reliability feature to add to the initial circuit design; adding the reliability feature to the input model based upon the user specification to generate a modified input model; and producing an output model of a circuit design with the reliability feature in response to the modified input model.

主权项

1. A method of synthesizing a circuit design comprising:
receiving a high level description of a circuit design into an electronic design automation system; receiving a user specification into the electronic design automation system, the user specification selecting a reliability circuit feature to add to the circuit design; adding the reliability circuit feature to the high level description of the circuit design based upon the user specification to generate a modified high level description of the circuit design; and producing a netlist of the circuit design with the reliability circuit feature in response to the modified high level description of the circuit design.
