Hi

Have you ever reviewed a piece of Verilog code and thought, “Looks fine to me”—only to later discover it synthesized into something entirely unintended?

Attached below is a real-world example that has cost the semiconductor industry millions in respins and delays.

This isn’t just a coding oversight—it’s a classic RTL design trap:

• Routinely tested in top-tier interviews.
• Often overlooked in production due to simulation vs. synthesis mismatches.

While AI tools might offer partial answers, fully diagnosing such issues requires:

• A real PDK (like Sky130) for process-specific behavior.
• Industry tools (Yosys, OpenSTA) to expose unintended latches, timing violations, and undefined logic.

Ready to bridge the gap between RTL and silicon?
 

Join our 10-day hands-on workshop: RTL Design using Verilog with Sky130 Technology.

You’ll learn to:

• Debug synthesis mismatches in a production flow (RTL → GDSII).
• Avoid pitfalls that even seasoned engineers miss.
• Master open-source EDA tools used in cutting-edge tapeouts.
