Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT) today announced the availability of Calibre® xRC™ and Calibre xL rule decks for TSMC’s advanced 65nm process node. These rule decks provide advanced modeling capabilities including process sensitivity, and self and mutual inductance. Calibre now provides a solution for many types of integrated circuit designs including analog, digital, mixed signal, and memory. For nanometer designs, accurate simulation and analysis requires more than traditional resistance and capacitance. Designers need a post-layout silicon model that incorporates inductance, process sensitivity effects, and efficient accounting of effects not captured in the device model. Using Calibre xRC and Calibre xL in the design flow helps ensure that designers have all the data they need to obtain successful first pass silicon....

VeSys is a suite of wiring and harness design software tools developed by wiring professionals to satisfy the demanding requirements of companies where ease-of-use and value are as important as functionality.Intuitive Full electrical design authoring is made easy via an intuitive user interface and electrically intelligent symbols. Built-in electrical intelligence automates many design tasks. For example, splices are automatically created when wires are joined and cross-references are automatically created when wires cross between sheets. Furthermore, all entities have context sensitive menus giving the user the modification options appropriate for each different type of component. These and many other facilities make circuit editing a quick and simple.Productive VeSys automatically generates reports for wires, connectors and devices used in the design. Diagram...

Calibre® is the overwhelming market share leader and the industry standard for IC physical verification, due to the outstanding performance, accuracy and reliability of Calibre products. Over the last two years, Calibre nmDRC™ has reduced average DRC runtime by a factor of five, while Calibre\’s innovative Hyperscaling and MTFlex™ technologies have cut memory requirements in half. Calibre nmDRC also reduced overall cycle time with incremental DRC, which allows designers to make DRC runs in parallel. As DRC violations are reported, designers can immediately fix and recheck just the affected areas, while the initial DRC run continues. To handle complex and multi-variate, multi-dimensional checks that are not adequately addressed by traditional design rules, Calibre nmDRC\’s equation-based DRC (eqDRC) capability enables designers...
