ASIC RTL Design Services

Microarchitecture and synthesizable RTL for ASIC blocks and SoCs — SystemVerilog/Verilog/VHDL, IP integration, LINT/CDC/RDC, and handoff to synthesis, STA, DFT, and DV.

ASIC RTL Verification

From microarchitecture to implementable RTL

Process libraries, power intent, DFT, and respin economics shape the RTL from the first microarchitecture pass — so synthesis and STA are not a surprise. Tiny-Vedas is that kind of block in the open: a RISC-V core, a vector unit, and an 8×8 GEMM taken through OpenROAD on ASAP7.

What ASIC RTL design covers

Microarchitecture → synthesizable RTL

Spec and PPA targets → microarchitecture → SystemVerilog, Verilog, or VHDL. Pipelines, arbitration, FSMs, register maps, error paths — structured for synthesis, not just simulation.

SoC & IP integration

Block and subsystem integration: clocks/resets, interconnect, memory maps, soft/hard IP wrappers, and firmware-facing MMIO documented for the rest of the chip.

Front-end signoff hygiene

LINT, CDC, RDC, and coding rules that survive STA and DFT insertion — reviewable RTL, not paper-correct only.

Implementation & DFT awareness

Hierarchy, clock gating, and observability designed with synthesis, STA, and DFT (scan/BIST hooks) in mind — fewer late ECOs after netlist.

Interfaces & protocols

On-chip interconnect and common off-chip interfaces.

AXI / AXI4-Stream / AHB / APB

PCIe

Ethernet / MAC / DMA

DDR / memory controllers

I2C / SPI / UART

Custom datapaths & accelerators

Typical deliverables

RTL + interface contracts

Clock / reset architecture notes

Handoff for synthesis, STA, DFT, DV

What we optimize for

Coding and hierarchy that synthesis and STA can close against your libraries.
Clock/reset architecture, power/clock-gating intent, and DFT hooks planned early.
Soft and hard IP integration with documented MMIO for firmware and UVM.
LINT/CDC/RDC before netlist — quality bar set by respin cost.

Frequently asked questions

Which HDLs do you use?

SystemVerilog, Verilog, and VHDL — matching your codebase and coding standards.

Can you take over an existing block or ECO?

Yes. Feature adds, interface cleanup, LINT/CDC debt, and documentation so your team retains ownership after handoff.

How do you hand off to verification and physical?

Stable interfaces, register intent, assertion hooks, and notes DV/physical need. We also provide ASIC RTL Verification Services when you want the same team on both sides.

Need ASIC RTL design?

Share the block scope, process/node context if known, interfaces, and tapeout window. We’ll say what we’d implement first.
