EDA ACCESS Partner Profiles: Fish Tail
Overview
Founded in 2002, FishTail Design Automation has set its sights on tackling the difficult problem of precise constraints on chip timing—the area where the success or failure of a design is ultimately determined. The company’s patented technology improves chip implementation by automatically identifying exceptions to single-cycle clocking from register transfer level (RTL) descriptions early in the design cycle. For the first time, designers will have detailed accurate timing constraint information to drive downstream tools such as virtual prototyping, synthesis, and place and route. The result is lower-cost, lower-power devices in less design time and with less risk.

Focus |
FishTail's FocusTM product solves the time-consuming problem of poor device implementation results because of missing or incorrect timing exceptions, and formally identifies false and multi-cycle paths early in the design cycle before prototyping and logic synthesis. In addition, Focus also generates assertions that justify why a false-path or multi-cycle path definition is correct. Using only the synthesizable description and clock definitions, Focus automatically generates the timing exceptions for the design in standard SDC file format for use by downstream implementation tools.
