Methodology

Fujitsu's design methodology ensures first-silicon success by integrating proprietary point tools with the most popular industry-standard CAD tools.

Fujitsu's clock-driven design methodology offers low power and low skew. It identifies the best-suited clock distribution strategy for a given design and predicts performance in advance. Fujitsu supports co-simulation, emulation, and high-level floor planning to ease estimation of the design's power, timing and size. This enables the designer to make effective architectural-level decisions to achieve optimal design solutions.

Fujitsu's design methodology supports cycle-based simulators and formal verification, as well as static timing analysis and the more conventional VHDL and Verilog simulators. Fujitsu's design-for-test strategy includes boundary scan (JTAG), full and partial scans, as well as a built-in self-test for memory.
