Abstract
This application discloses an electronic design automation tool configured to perform one or more static reset checks on reset functionality in a circuit design. The electronic design automation tool can detect the reset functionality in the circuit design, identify a portion of the circuit design having a set of resettable components, and determine whether the portion of the circuit design includes a reset design error based, at least in part, on the reset functionality in the circuit design. The static reset checks can include a domain congruency check, a reset skew check, and a glitch detection check, each of which can identify different design errors that may cause reset functionality in the circuit design to operate improperly.
