Calibre® is the only sign-off verification toolset that is integrated with the full range of design tools used throughout the design flow. Calibre provides robust and extensible interfaces to custom design, place and route (PNR), and a wide range of specialty design tools. These interfaces bring the power of Calibre’s sign-off engines to the designer throughout the design flow, enabling early detection and correction of manufacturing issues.Interface TypesStandard Invocation & Result Viewing Interfaces Calibre’s standard interfaces enable users to run verification on the layout and schematics within a design tool, and highlight the results back into the design tool. Calibre Interactive™ interfaces with the design tool to invoke batch Calibre, and once the interface is established, any appropriate Calibre flow—...

Circuit designSelectively automating non-critical aspects of custom IC design allows engineers to focus on precision-crafting their designs. Cadence circuit design solutions enable fast and accurate entry of design concepts, which includes managing design intent in a way that flows naturally in the schematic. Using this advanced, parasitic-aware environment, you can abstract and visualize the many interdependencies of an analog, RF, or mixed-signal design to understand and determine their effects on circuit performance. Virtuoso Schematic EditorProvides a complete design and constraint composition environment for front-to-back analog, custom-digital, RF, and mixed-signal designs.Designed to help users create manufacturing-robust designs, Cadence® Virtuoso® Analog Design Environment is the advanced design and simulation environment for the Virtuoso platform. It gives designers access to a new parasitic...

Implementing complex digital signal processing systems for consumer, infrastructure, medical, automotive and aerospace and defense companies is the key challenge for innovation, since most of the design time is spent on investigating the effects of individual implementation decisions on the performance of the entire system. Pure language based approaches (MATLAB algorithms or C/C++) fail at these challenges as they do not constrain the modeling approach enough to improve implementation and simulation productivity. Synopsys SPW provides a rapid path from innovation into implementation for digital signal processing systems. At its core is the C data flow (CDF) modeling paradigm which enables the most efficient description of digital signal processing algorithms which may be implemented in dedicated digital hardware or embedded software....

LabVIEW 2013 includes the following enhancements to event-driven programming and related functionality.Viewing Enqueued Events at Run Time In LabVIEW 2013, you can inspect the events waiting in an event queue associated with an Event structure. You also can view a list of VIs that contain Event structures with registered events and a log of the events the Event structure handled. Right-click an Event structure and select Event Inspector Window to view the event information.Customizing When a Control Responds to Movements of the Mouse Wheel In LabVIEW 2013, you can specify when a control responds to mouse wheel movements. To do this, navigate to the Key Navigation page of the Properties dialog box for that control. Then select from the available...

This latest release offers numerous improvements to tool usability and performance, but at the heart of 16.6 are three key benefits: enhanced miniaturization capabilities, timing-aware physical implementation and verification for faster timing closure, and the industry\’s first electrical CAD team collaboration environment for PCB design using Microsoft SharePoint technology. A hot fix is a software maintenance package containing a small number of code fixes, designed to fix a sall number of critical problems. A hot fix enables a customer to receive fixes for urgent problems, without having to wait for the next service pack. Each successive Fix Pack is comprehensive and contains the material from the earlier Fix Packs for that Release, as well as all Interim Fixes made available...

In this course, you use the Allegro® Sigrity™ SI software to develop design rules for high-speed designs. You add the resulting physical and electrical constraints to the design through topology templates. These constraints drive the routing of nets on the printed circuit board. You run preroute and postroute signal simulations to analyze the PCB for reflection, crosstalk, and other high-speed design factorsLearning Objectives After completing this course, you will be able to:o Create, extract, and explore topologieso Run solution space analysiso Create an electrical constraint seto Apply constraints to drive placement and routingo Run postroute DRC checko Use template revision to update the ECSet applied to the netso Analyze nets on the routed board design for signal integrityo Create a...
