DC parses your HDL and creates an internal "GTECH" (generic technology) representation.
In the high-stakes world of ASIC and FPGA design, the bridge between RTL (Register-Transfer Level) fantasy and gate-level reality is synthesis. For over three decades, Synopsys’ has been that bridge—the de facto standard for logic synthesis. The 2021 release (part of the 2021.03-SP3 family) didn’t reinvent the wheel; instead, it sharpened the axe. This feature explores the critical updates, workflow optimizations, and a hands-on tutorial to get you from Verilog to a timing-closed netlist faster than ever. synopsys design compiler tutorial 2021
