About VC SpyGlass RDC
VC SpyGlass™ RDC is built on the highly scalable VC SpyGlass RTL Signoff platform that provides a comprehensive methodology with scalable capacity for quality signoff with high debug productivity. In addition, power domains add to the complexity of reset domain crossing and performing RDC analysis on UPF instrumented RTL (ie. True connection of switches and ISO devices) is a requirement to achieve the highest quality and most comprehensive signoff.

Features
A well known source of metastability is caused by clock domain crossings; however, asynchronous reset crossings within the same clock domain can also cause metastability. The use of asynchronous resets is becoming more prevalent because of the broader use of multi-phase power-up boot sequences and increasing software stack adding to software asynchronous resets. Reset domain crossing (RDC) verification has become equally essential signoff criteria to ensure that the designs work per the specifications.
