SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Phase 5B silicon validation is critical to ensure RTL designs meet timing, synthesis readiness, and top-level integration requirements before tape-out. This skill automates the silicon-readiness validation process, reducing manual verification effort and tightening signoff gates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates Phase 5B silicon validation for RTL blocks and top integration, coordinating synthesis, constraints, and timing checks.
  • Enforces signoff-oriented gates and precise top-integration checks after functional closure, replacing ad-hoc verification steps.
  • Use Case: A design team transitions from Phase 5A to 5B can apply this skill to ensure a smooth, auditable silicon-validation flow across blocks and top-level integration.

Quick Start

Invoke the silicon validation orchestrator with an optional --top <name> parameter to validate a specific block.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate silicon validation for RTL designs after functional closure?

You automate silicon validation by coordinating synthesis, constraints, and timing-oriented checks to enforce signoff-ready gates. This ensures your block-to-top integration meets Phase 5B readiness requirements without manual verification effort.

What is Phase 5B silicon validation and how does it differ from 5A?

Phase 5B silicon validation applies signoff-oriented gates and precise top-integration checks after functional closure. It splits from P5A workflows by focusing strictly on synthesis readiness, CDC/STA posture, and top-level verification scenarios.

How do I check top-level integration and timing constraints for RTL signoff?

You check top-level integration by applying signoff-oriented gates and precise timing verification scenarios. The orchestration validates block-to-top integration, ensuring CDC/STA posture and synthesis constraints are fully satisfied.

Can I validate a specific RTL block for synthesis readiness during Phase 5B?

Yes, you can validate a specific RTL block by invoking the silicon validation orchestrator with the optional top parameter. This targets the block and applies signoff-ready synthesis and timing checks automatically.

What is the best way to coordinate CDC and STA checks for RTL top integration?

The best way to coordinate CDC and STA checks is using an automated orchestration flow that enforces signoff-oriented gates. This replaces ad-hoc verification steps and ensures precise top-integration checks across the design.
