What do you mean by Synthesis

Question

What do you mean by Synthesis? Describe in brief.

Answer 1

Synthesis is the phase in the design flow that is concerned with translating your Verilog code into the gates and that is putting it very easily! First of all, the Verilog should be written in a particular manner for the synthesis tool which you are using. Obviously a synthesis tool does not really produce gates-it will output a netlist of the design which you have synthesized that symbolizes the chip that can be fabricated via an ASIC or FPGA vendor.
