Circuit design Selectively 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—coupled with an advanced design environment that allows designers to visualize and understand the many interdependencies of an analog, RF, or mixed-signal design and their effects on circuit performance. Virtuoso Schematic Editor Provides 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 estimation and comparison flow and optimization algorithms that help to center designs better for yield improvement and advanced matching and sensitivity analyses. By supporting extensive exploration of multiple designs against their objective specifications, Virtuoso Analog Design Environment sets the standard in fast and accurate design verification. Features/Benefits * Reduced learning curve with a simulator-independent environment * Maximum efficiency in the script-driven mode * Accelerated debug process using a variety of built-in analog analysis tools * Facilitated design correction via easy comparison of pre- and post-parasitic extracted designs * Quick detection of circuit problems via a clear visualization cockpit Virtuoso Analog Design Environment Provides a comprehensive array of capabilities for electrical and statistical analysis, verification, and optimization of analog/mixed-signal designs, including the interfaces to many industry-standard simulators.
