MQA (SPICE Model Quality Assurance) Demo
Model Quality Assurance (MQA) automatically assesses the quality of foundry-supplied models, generates the documentation,
and compares multiple model libraries, versions, and SPICE platforms. Model Builder Program (MBP) generates and optimizes
SPICE models using data from silicon wafer testing.
Advanced Virtuoso Design Environment (IC 6.1 release)
This demo focuses on the Virtuoso Schematic Editor and the Virtuoso Analog Design Environment.
You will discover some of the new features and functionality that are available, focusing on the enhanced productivity that
designers enjoy with the introduction of assistance. You will also learn about the constraint management system that can be
used to pass information the schematic through to layout.
NOTE: This demo requires 1280 x 1024 Minimum Screen Resolution and a Minimum 400 Kbps network connection.
In addition, a faster computer (1Ghz+, 512K RAM) is recommended for optimal playback.
Accelerated Physical Design with Virtuoso Prototype Flow (IC 6.1 release)
Discover the new, common cockpit that integrates all the Virtuoso products designers can access at any point and time during the design. You will see how to quickly perform area estimation on a piece of data, obtain the information, and plug it into a floor planning technology. You will also see simple editing to correct violations, the use of pin placement technology, and design optimization.
Virtuoso Constraint Flow (IC 6.1 release)
Explore how constraints can help designers manage their design environment. The demo will take you from design schematic into layout, and then into routing – all in one, easy-to-use design cockpit.
Solving D/MS Design Challenges with Virtuoso AMS Designer
Discover how you can effectively design mixed-signal chips, regardless of design size. Virtuoso AMS Designer
is the latest technological break through that brings the power of behavioral modeling to the IC designer.
It tackles the difficult challenge of converging massive digital designs with precise analog circuitry and simulating
them accurately and quickly, while using Verilog-AMS/VHDL-AMS languages, Virtuoso Schematic Editor schematics, Assura™
extracted views, timing views from SoC Encounter, and textual descriptions for NC-Sim. (This demo features custom design products from IC 5.1.41 release).
PyCell Studio™ & PCell Xtreme™ While interoperability has progressed rapidly in the digital domain, analog design has lagged behind, due in part to the lack of an interoperable PCell mechanism. This has made interoperability between multiple vendors' tools difficult. PyCell Studio helps designers reduce the time and cost of PCell and layout generator creation for deep submicron processes. PCell Xtreme enables the migration of PCells created in proprietary languages into multi-vendor OpenAccess flows. Together, PyCell Studio and PCell Xtreme provide a complete, interoperable OpenAccess PCell solution. Download PyCell Studio for free at www.ciranova.com.
