The register-transfer level (RTL) abstraction plays a vital role in the modern VLSI design flow. At this stage, designers use hardware description languages such as Verilog and VHDL, or high-level synthesis (HLS) languages like C and C++, to define the precise behavior of digital systems. RTL design offers a wide design space and significant flexibility, enabling designers to make detailed decisions that will strongly influence the final quality of the ASIC in terms of power consumption, performance, and area (PPA). It is crucial to optimize RTL designs thoroughly during this phase, as addressing inefficiencies or poor-quality RTL in later synthesis stages is extremely difficult and often impractical [1].

摘要

The register-transfer level (RTL) abstraction plays a vital role in the modern VLSI design flow. At this stage, designers use hardware description languages such as Verilog and VHDL, or high-level synthesis (HLS) languages like C and C++, to define the precise behavior of digital systems. RTL design offers a wide design space and significant flexibility, enabling designers to make detailed decisions that will strongly influence the final quality of the ASIC in terms of power consumption, performance, and area (PPA). It is crucial to optimize RTL designs thoroughly during this phase, as addressing inefficiencies or poor-quality RTL in later synthesis stages is extremely difficult and often impractical [1].
