Synopsys Design Compiler (2021) is an industry-standard tool for synthesizing RTL code into optimized gate-level netlists, utilizing topographical flows for better timing, area, and power results. The process involves setting up a .synopsys_dc.setup file, defining constraints (SDC), running compile_ultra , and analyzing results with reports before exporting the final netlist. For a detailed guide, see the Design Compiler Tutorial 2021. synopsys design compiler tutorial 2021
