RDC signoff proves that every reset in the chip asserts safely and releases cleanly, in every domain and in every order the chip allows. A missed reset-domain crossing does not fail every time: it fails on some power-up sequences and passes on others, which is why this section pairs structural analysis with reset-aware simulation and a tracked closure process.
Topic | Lessons | After it you can... |
|---|---|---|
4 | Run the signoff flow: capture reset intent, classify findings, and define closure. | |
4 | Write reset sequences, reset assertions, and reset coverage for a block. | |
4 | Close RDC across hierarchy, third-party IP, power modes, and reviews. | |
4 | Track RDC progress honestly and assemble the final signoff package. |
Methodology (intent, analysis, classification, closure), reset-aware simulation, chip-level closure, and dashboard tracking.
