PnR FLOW
1. Physical verification
2. Equivalence Checking
3. Timing Analysis
EQUIVALENCE CHECKS
Equivalence check will compare the netlist we started out with (pre
layout/synthesis netlist) to the netlist written out by the tool after PnR
(post layout netlist)
Physical verification
After routing, PnR tool should give zero DRC/LVS violations
However, the PnR tool deals with abstracts like FRAM or LEF
views. We use dedicated physical verification tools for signoff
