RDC methodology is the order of work that takes a chip from reset intent to a signed-off reset network. Each stage feeds the next: intent tells structural analysis what to check, classification turns findings into fixes or waivers, and dynamic checks confirm the fixes behave under real reset sequences.
Lesson | After it you can... |
|---|---|
Name the six stages of RDC signoff and what each stage produces. | |
Write down the reset intent a reset analysis needs. | |
Decide which findings are defects and which are acceptable with evidence. | |
Say exactly what closed means for RDC and what evidence it needs. |
Because not every finding is a defect. Classifying first sends real defects to fixes and acceptable findings to evidence or waivers, instead of fixing things that are already safe.
