so Virtuoso Studio IC 23.1: Using Net Tracer for Design Review By community.cadence.com Published On :: Tue, 06 Aug 2024 09:18:00 GMT This blog explores how Virtuoso Studio Net Tracer can help you perform a design review. We’ll use the net connectivity option, which allows the user to get a clean highlighted net. You can use the Net Tracer tool to highlight the nets. You can find the Net Tracer command under the connectivity pulldown menu in the layout window. Trace manager and the ability to display different islands on the same net with other colors, you can identify and connect the unconnected islands as you wish. The Net Tracer utility traces the nets in the physical view (layout). The trace is a highlighted net, which is a non-selectable object. The Net Tracer utility is available from Virtuoso Layout Suite XL onwards. You can use this utility based on your specific needs and preferences. For a better understanding of the Net Tracer feature, let’s see one scenario between the circuit designer and layout engineer for a layout design review. Circuit designer: Can we go through the routed input nets “inm” and “inp”? Layout engineer: From the below layout view where they are highlighted using the XL connectivity, today I will use Net Tracer utility for the design review. Circuit designer: I have never heard of this feature. Let's see how it works. Layout engineer: Sure, now we turn on the Net Tracer toolbar using the below option. You see the Net Tracer options form here: As you can see on my screen, I have opened the layout view and engaged the Net Tracer utility. Net Tracer allows shapes to be traced on a net in two tracing modes, namely, physical and logical, where shapes on the same net are physically or logically connected. Physical tracing gathers all the shapes physically connected on the same net. Logical tracing gathers all the shapes assigned to the same net. It highlights the net as in the source design (schematic). It will highlight shapes on the same net, even if they are isolated shapes that are not physically connected. For this scenario, let us use physical tracing for input nets “inm” and “inp." Highlighted nets are shown below: Net “inm” Net “inp” Nets “inm” and “inp” Net Tracer has features like physical and logical tracing, preview, step-by-step mode, ease of tracing a net on a shape out of multiple underlying shapes, and so on. Let us explore logical tracing for output nets “outm” and “outp”: Here, you can see how to enable true color and halo before enabling logical tracing to identify the metal route. After enabling the true color halo, enable the logical trace. Here, I am opening the trace manager to search “outm” and “outp” and click trace. That will trace the particular nets as shown. Net Tracer has a preview feature, which is helpful in terms of the number of previewed objects. This preview capability hints at how the trace would appear when you create it. This useful feature in Virtuoso Studio highlights both completed and incomplete nets, helping the user better understand the status of the highlighted nets. Circuit designer: Thanks for the design review. You have done good work. Net Tracer clearly shows both types of tracing, and it was even easy for the circuit designer to understand. Layout engineer: Let me share the link to the Net Tracer RAK, where other layout engineers can explore many more amazing features of the Net Tracer. Do You Have Access to the Cadence Support Portal?

so Display Resource Editor: Different Colors for Schematic and Layout Axis By community.cadence.com Published On :: Wed, 23 Oct 2024 06:30:07 GMT Hi In the environment I'm currently working, axes are shown for schematic, symbol, and layout views.For schematics and symbols, I'd prefer a dim gray, such that the axes are just visible but not dominant. For the layout, I'd prefer a brighter color. Is there a way to realize this?

so Force virtuoso (Layout XL) to NOT create warning markers in design By community.cadence.com Published On :: Sat, 09 Nov 2024 08:54:31 GMT Hi I have a rather strange question - is there a way to tell layout XL to NOT place the error/warning markers on a design when I open a cell? I do a lot of my layout by using arrays from placed instances and create mosaics that completely ignore the metadata that Layout XL uses with its bindings with schematic (and instances get deleted etc. but I do like using it to generate all my pins etc.) and it's just really annoying when I open a design that I know is LVS clean and since the connectivity metadata is all screwed up (because I did not use it to actually complete the layout) I have a design that's just blinking at me at every gate, source and drain. I typically delete them at the high level heirarchically but the second I go in and modify something and come back up it places all of them again. I know that if I flatten all the p cells it goes away but sometimes it's nice to have that piece of metadata but that's about it. Is there a way to "break" the features of XL like this? I realize what a weird question this is but it's becoming more of an issue since we moved to IC 23 from IC 6 where there is no longer a layout L that I can use free from these annoyances that can't use any of the connectivity metadata. Thanks Chris Full Article

so VAR("") does not work within some expressions By community.cadence.com Published On :: Mon, 22 Apr 2024 20:47:33 GMT Hi, My Virtuoso and Spectre Version: ICADVM20.1-64b.NYISR30.2 I have an expression where the EvalType is "sweeps". Here is the expression (I also attached the snapshot): (peakToPeak(leafValue(swapSweep(delay(?wf1 clip((VT("/clk0") - VT("/clk180")) (VAR("mt_stop") - (4.0 / VAR("datarate"))) VAR("mt_stop")) ?value1 0 ?edge1 "rising" ?nth1 1 ?td1 0 ?tol1 nil ?wf2 clip((VT("/tx_padp") - VT("/tx_padn")) (VAR("mt_stop") - (4.0 / VAR("datarate"))) VAR("mt_stop")) ?value2 0 ?edge2 "rising" ?nth2 1 ?tol2 nil ?td2 nil ?stop nil ?multiple nil) "VDD_FIXED_NOISE") "VREGLN_cmode" 0.85 "VREGDRV_novn" 0.4 "datarate" 1.658e+10) ?overall t) / 10.0) What this expression does is that it compares the delay between the output data with respect to a reference clock. I then get this information for two conditions (VDD_FIXED_NOISE = 0 or 10mV) to get the effect of the supply-induced jitter. In the expression, I need to give the value of each parameter in different modes to distinguish them from each other. Now I want to sweep the base supply values and see the supply variation effects. For example, I want to change VREGLN_cmode from 0.85 to 0.81 and see how my supply-induced jitter changes. For that, the hard way is to copy the expression and change that value accordingly (e.g. "VREGLN_cmode" 0.81). I'm looking for an easier way to use a variable in the expression. Something like VAR("VREGLN_Sweep"). But I see it doesn't work in my expression and it gives an eVal error. I tested this before in other expressions (not sweep type) and it always worked. I have only one test and these variables are all Design Variables and not Global variables.I want to know what mistake am I doing here and is there a way to make this work. Sorry that if I could not explain better my inquiry. Thank you. Full Article

so Socionext Accelerates SoC Design Breakthroughs with Cadence Signoff Tools By community.cadence.com Published On :: Thu, 27 Jun 2024 18:16:00 GMT Socionext, a leader in SoC design, recently made significant strides in enhancing its design efficiency for a complex billion-gate project. Faced with the initial challenges of lengthy eight-day iterations and a protracted two-month timing signoff process, the objective was to reduce the iteration cycle to just three days. By integrating Cadence's cutting-edge solutions—Certus Closure Solution, Tempus Timing Solution, and Quantus Extraction Solution—Socionext achieved remarkable improvements. Notably, the Tempus DSTA tool dramatically cut timing closure time by 73%, outperforming conventional single-machine STA methods. This achievement, combined with the synergistic use of Cadence's Certus Closure and Tempus Timing solutions, allowed Socionext to meet their ambitious three-day iteration target and double productivity. Additionally, integrating these solutions significantly decreased both human and machine resource needs, slashing memory and disk costs by up to 90% and halving engineering resources during the optimization and signoff phases. For more on this collaboration, check out the "Designed with Cadence" success story video on Cadence's website and YouTube channel. Also, don't miss the on-demand webinar "Fast, Accurate STA for Large-Scale Design Challenges," which provides a deeper dive into Socionext's breakthroughs and the innovative solutions that powered their success.
