EasylogicECO streamlines the process from RTL modifications to metal-only post-layout changes by generating minimal patch logic, utilizing spare resources for efficient P&R implementation and seamless timing closure..
Easy-Logic's fully automatic ECO solution utilizes patented technology to help the design team complete the ECO task effortlessly. The short turnaround time also allows the design team to explore different RTL coding methods and ultimately find the optimal ECO results.
The key to success lies in preserving the existing design netlist as much as possible while applying the smallest patch. EasylogicECO adheres to this core principle, ensuring design integrity and minimizing disruption. This approach saves time and resources while delivering reliable results.
What is Functional ECO
Engineering Change Order (ECO) is a design method that revises an existing ASIC design by incorporating a relatively small patch circuit. This approach avoids the need for a full-scale redesign project. Functional ECO is a process that generates the necessary patches based on design specification changes.
Functional ECOs are frequently requested nowadays due to various factors. These often arise from a design bug identified in one of the downstream verification steps, a revised design performance change requested by project management, or a product specification change initiated by the marketing team. It is clear that functional ECO is a preferable method compared to re-spinning an entire design project, offering significant advantages such as a shorter project cycle and substantially lower manufacturing costs.
