Characterization
Key Benefits
- Ultra-fast library characterization
- Advanced timing, power, and noise models
- TÜV SÜD “Fit for Purpose – TCL1” certified to meet ISO 26262 automotive functional safety requirements
The Cadence® Liberate™ Trio Characterization Suite is an ultra-fast standard cell and I/O library creator. It generates electrical cell views for timing, power, and signal integrity including advanced current source models (CCS and ECSM). Using the Inside View approach, you can automatically pre-characterize each cell using transistor-level circuit analysis, which yields all the necessary stimulus and internal logic states to ensure a complete, accurate, and highly efficient characterization of that cell. It also supports complex cells including those required for high-speed and/or low-power design such as pulse latches, multi-bit flip-flop arrays, custom cells, state retention flip-flops, level shifters, power switches, and cells with sleep modes.
This feature is also offered as a standalone option.
Automotive TCL1 Certified for ISO 26262
The industry’s first digital implementation and signoff flow to achieve “Fit for Purpose - Tool Confidence Level 1 (TCL1)” certification enables you to meet stringent ISO 26262 automotive safety requirements. The Liberate Characterization portfolio is part of the flow covering RTL-to-GDSII implementation and signoff.
