Synthesis is the process by which you convert a design written at the register-transfer level
(RTL) into a gate-level netlist. The RTL specification is written in Verilog or VHDL, using
high-level constructs such as for loops and case statements. The synthesis tool transforms
this RTL specification into a set of logic gates,such as AND, OR, and BUF, that are connected
in a network.
To specify the gates that the synthesis tool uses to build a netlist, you need to choose a
technology from a specific vendor. The vendor that you have chosen to fabricate your chip or
system supplies a technology library for you to use in...
