Semi-automatic IC Design Environment

  • Unified schematic/layout built from scratch on OA
  • OA = Compatible / coexists with Virtuoso
  • Ridiculously simple. Install and run in minutes
  • No CAD effort needed. Techfiles included, but customizable.
  • We thrive on small feature sizes, such as 130n to 45n

Schematic

  • OA based: Switch between competitors and Arails
  • Controls layout devices and connectivity
  • Create layout matching, dynamic/static spacing, etc
  • Simulation test-benches built in, saves with schematic
  • Accurate simulations: SA, SB, AD, etc. extracted on the fly, even when cell is flattened and merged!
  • Dummies automatically added to schematic from layout
  • Cross-probes with layout and waveform

Simulation Environment

  • Supports most simulators
  • Simulate parasitic extracted values AT ALL TIMES
  • Multiple simulator, analysis, corners
  • Backannotates voltages and currents to schematic
  • Digital diagnostics with Veritools (October release)
  • Passes wire sizing (EM, IR drop) to router (NEW)
  • Free simulator included (gnucap)

Circuit Optimization

  • Multiple analysis, testbenches, corners
  • User defined measurements
  • Over 30 built-in measurements, such as gain & phase margin, overshoot, settling, THD, etc
  • Testbench examples: Amp, PLL, VCO, etc
  • Click onto parameter to optimize
  • Simple results filtration and loading into schematic
  • Batches off to multiple machines
