Tool Used: Synopsys Prime time ,PC-ECO,Intel_Caliber,Fusion Compiler.

Description:- Worked on Top level model contains 2 child model and 14 hard macro, 1GHz Maximum Frequency

Responsible for handling a family level timing Closure on 60+ corners including constraints refinement and timing budgeting.

Rectangular shaped Block.

Contribution:- Challenges faced:- Due to increasing in the frequency of few clocks, critical timing registers from one module to another module with setup/hold conflict.

Worked on MCP exception constraints for changed frequency clocks , to met the timing.

Worked on the cross clock domain violation fixing based on exceptions constraints and manual eco..

Fixing the Multi bit related constraints issue , like exceptions on new mbit registers.

Fixing the family level internal and interface timing and used to give feedback on critical latency to subsystem team..

Worked on 50+ intel caliber violations related to SD and RTL. Responsible for RTL and DFT constraints/methodology checks

Written out two scripts based on requirement during the eco stage.(restrict hold buffers in o/p paths and hold buff count in critical min paths)
