Digital on Top (DoT) Mixed SignalDesign Flow Using Innovus Digital and Virtuoso Analog Platforms: RapidAdoption Kit (RAK)
There are two methodologies used for implementing Mixed Signal designs. Analog onTop (AOT) refers to the design flow where the top level of the design is represented asa schematic. In the AOT methodology, Virtuoso is typically the environment where theentire top level design is assembled. Digital on Top (DOT) refers to the design flowwhere the top level of the design is represented as a Verilog netlist. In the DOTmethodology, Innovus is typically the environment used for assembling the entire toplevel design. This tutorial is focused on the DoT flow with Innovus as the platform for thetop-level design.
