Ensuring Robust Reset Integrity in Complex SoC Designs Through Advanced Reset Tree Checks

Resource (Verification Horizons Blog) - Nov 19, 2024 by Reetika - Siemens EDA

One of the foundational steps in the reset domain crossing (RDC) verification process is determining the structure of the reset tree within a system-on-chip (SoC) design. The reset tree is critical for tracking how reset signals propagate throughout the design, ensuring stable and predictable system operation. To construct this reset tree, engineers rely on static analysis techniques to examine the register transfer level (RTL) of the design and identify various reset signals.
