Implementation

• This is the process of physical placing of the design into the target device.

• Though it is a physical placement, it still takes place in the virtual environment provided by the EDA tool.

• A physical map of the target device is loaded into the environment and the components are virtually fitted into the target device.

• Again this process may have two phases:
– Physical synthesis
• Physical synthesis means optimal relocation of the design into the target device. Proprietary software tools are available for this task and may be quite costly. This phase is however optional.

– Place and route
• Place and route is the phase where the tool completes the task of virtually placing the components of the design in to the target device and then wiring the individual modules to complete the design.
