Formality and Formality Ultra Verifies the toughest designs synthesized with DC OverviewFormality® is an equivalence-checking (EC) solution that uses formal, static techniques to determine if two versions of a design are functionally equivalent. The size and complexity of today’s designs, coupled with the challenges of meeting timing, area, power and schedule, requires that the newest, most advanced synthesis optimizations be fully verifiable. Formality supports all DC Ultra and Design Compiler Graphical optimizations and so provides the highest quality of results that are fully verifiable. Formality supports verification of power-up and power-down states, multi-voltage, multi-supply and clock gated designs. Formality Ultra adds innovative matching and verification technologies to efficiently guide designers through the implementation of functional ECOs with minimal impact to...
