Real Intent

The fastest, lowest-noise RTL static verification sign-off platform

  • Lint
  • CDC
  • RDC
  • DFT
  • Security
  • Connectivity

Real Intent builds intent-driven RTL static sign-off software, used by 50+ major semiconductor and systems companies including NVIDIA, Samsung, Western Digital and SK Hynix. From the fastest RTL linting and automatic formal checking through to multimode CDC, RDC, DFT and hardware security sign-off, the whole static sign-off flow completes at RTL — all sharing the same iDebug debug environment.

Real Intent portfolio

RTL lint

Ascent Lint

A static analyzer that checks syntax, semantic and style rules before simulation, for synthesizable Verilog, SystemVerilog and VHDL, and reads IEEE 1735-encrypted IP. TÜV SÜD ISO 26262 certified for direct use in automotive functional-safety flows.

Formal checking

AutoFormal

Layers formal sequential/functional linting on top of Ascent Lint's structural checks, catching FSM deadlocks, unreachable states and array-bounds violations, and auto-generating functional assertions from the RTL's implied intent — no assertion-language authoring needed. Claims a 10x+ speedup over the prior engine.

Clock domains

Meridian CDC

Runs structural, functional and microarchitecture analysis together — inferring FIFOs, FSMs, counters and other standard functional components directly from RTL to classify crossings by actual intent. Claims up to 98% precision, cutting sign-off review effort by up to 95%, with true multimode analysis in a single run.

Reset domains

RDC

Runs structural, functional and observability analysis to target metastability, async reset glitches and reconverging reset signals. A single setup analyzes multiple reset scenarios in parallel with one consolidated report, claiming 10x+ faster runtime and lower noise than competing tools.

Testability

DFT

Static sign-off for scan testability and coverage across RTL, post-scan-synthesis and post-place-and-route stages, verifying multiple ATPG partitions and test modes in a single run — covering async set/reset, clocks, scan chains and IEEE 1500 wrapper boundary connectivity.

Hardware security

Sentry

Full-chip static verification for CIA (confidentiality, integrity, availability) hardware security sign-off, using a "minimally Boolean" approach for an order-of-magnitude speed advantage, with automated checks built on inferred functional components — claimed to analyze 100 million gates in a couple of hours.

Connectivity sign-off

SafeConnect

The only tool combining connectivity rule checking and glitch checking in one product, running at both RTL and post-synthesis stages. Accepts UPF directly, with no black-boxing required even at large SoC scale, claiming roughly 10x faster than formal or Tcl-scripting approaches.
