CDC, RDC and LINT Verification

CDC, RDC and LINT Verification

Ensuring clock, reset, and design rule integrity across systems.

Precision in Every Nanosecond

Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) and Reset Domain Crossing (RDC) verification are crucial to ensure data integrity and reliable operation across multiple clock and reset domains in modern SoC and ASIC designs. At MinanoSpace, our team identifies and resolves metastability issues, synchronization errors, and other timing hazards that can lead to functional failures.

At MinanoSpace, we perform comprehensive lint verification to ensure RTL code complies with industry-standard coding guidelines, follows synthesis-friendly practices, and minimizes potential functional risks. By combining CDC, RDC, and lint analysis, we deliver complete RTL quality assurance and functional safety coverage across complex designs.

Our methodology ensures robust designs that pass timing, functional, and manufacturability requirements, reducing post-silicon debug cycles and accelerating time-to-market.

...
CDC Verification

Analyze and verify all clock domain crossings, identify synchronization risks, and recommend proper synchronizer or FIFO structures to prevent metastability issues.

...
RDC Verification

Check reset domain crossings for proper initialization, timing, and functional correctness to ensure reliable system startup.

...
Lint Verification

Perform exhaustive RTL linting using advanced tools to detect coding rule violations, potential race conditions, synthesis issues, and functional hazards.

Why CDC, RDC & Lint Verification Matter

Multiple clock and reset domains in modern chips increase the risk of data corruption and timing-related failures. Without proper CDC and RDC verification, designs may experience metastability, functional errors, or system crashes in silicon.

Lint verification ensures RTL code quality, improves synthesis compatibility, and prevents common coding mistakes. Together, these checks reduce costly re-spins, improve functional reliability, and ensure smooth downstream design flow.

Reliable Multi-Domain Operation

CDC and RDC verification ensures stable and predictable operation across multiple clock and reset domains.

Improved RTL Quality

Lint verification enforces coding standards, detects potential issues, and improves overall design quality.

Reduced Debug & Rework

Early detection of domain crossing and coding issues minimizes post-silicon debug cycles and accelerates time-to-market.
