Thus a reuse of the once-designed circuits is possible here too.Cadence products such as Cadence IC Design enable creativity and innovation in electronic design globally and play a key role in building modern integrated circuits. Customers use services, IP addresses, hardware, and Cadence software to design, validate, and test advanced computer systems and communications and network equipment, energy consumption, and semiconductors. The company is headquartered in California, St. The design data are compatible across the different configuration levels. The complexity is classified into the levels L, XL and GXL. In addition to this different configuration levels are available of each module.
The separation of the functions in different modules is also for the optimisation of the license costs in combination with the eDA-Card or as license. Via the integrated cockpit the users get along quickly and can easily switch between the views like schematic, analysis or layout. The Virtuoso Platform includes different modules which offer an optimal support for each sub-step in the design process. For the Cadence tools you receive a comprehensive support by leading foundries at a high quality level. 0,35 µm to 0,25 µm with the respecitve PDKs.
Therefore you can not only find a second source for your manufacturing but also realize migrations of e.g. In the PDKs all process-related informations are described. Accordingly you rely on to receive the rules about the manufacturing processes from the foundry. Many IC and ASIC developments are made by enterprises without their own semiconductor production, so fabless. You only pay for the terms you are using the special tools. So you are able to professionally optimize your designs with high-end-tools and a managable budget. Via the eDA-Card, the flexible licensing form, you get for a short term acces to the various Cadence simulators and layout modules. In the open data base your design specifications are saved together with your design rules and are available easy to access for further optimizations. Given that Virtuoso is included in the reference flow at all foundries you minimize your risk with the easy transfer of the design data to the foundry, or even if you change the foundry or the process variable. With the process design kits (PDK) of the foundry you will obtain all manufacturer rules, the technology setup, Spice models, a reference library and allready pre-defined circuit parts (IP) for easy reuse. The whole flow offers possibilities for the analysis and the consideration of parasitic implementation effects.
Virtuoso leads you through the general design steps in a continuous flow and gives you extensive functions for optimization of the space requirement, the energy consumption and the improved performance of your chip.
The Virtuoso Platform supports you in the realisation of your development targets by automated design steps. Analog circuits require to respect the specifications for voltages, currents and charges as well as be able to easily and efficiently adopt different parameters for resistors, capacitors and transistors. With the Virtuoso expansion level you get a low-cost access to this common standard. The Cadence Virtuoso Platform is the industry standard for design of analog and integrated circuits (Front to Back), HF, Mixed-Signal and Custom Digital Designs.
The Virtuoso offers a wide range of design and verification tools that provide complete front-to-back solutions for varying design requirements, such as full-custom integrated circuits and digital integrated circuits. This suite of tools facilitates the full-custom design of integrated circuits.
