Course Description
The Virtuoso Connectivity-Driven Layout course focuses on the added functionality and enhanced productivity made possible by the Virtuoso Layout Suites XL and GXL advanced automation. You will gain the knowledge and skills needed to implement this capability within your design environment through lecture, discussion, demonstrations, and related labs. New features covered in this course are:
- Constraint Enhancements including:
- Process Rules Editor, Constraint Manager, right-mouse-button context sensitive constraint menu.
- Enhanced Annotation Browser functionality
- Added routing capability using the Navigator
- Interactive routing enhancements including:
- Wire Editor, point-to-point, guided routing, bus routing, finish net and finish bus
- Synchronous Copying
- Synchronous Cloning
- Dynamic Abstract Generation
- Module Generator(ModGen) Enhancements including:
- Greater capacity, enhanced guardring creation and editing, enhanced routing capability and dummy cell control
- Connectivity Extraction from the Substrate/Well
- Guardring Enhancements
This course is the next step after the Virtuoso® Layout Design Basics course. In this layout course, you leverage the automation that connectivity-driven layout offers to help you attain first time silicon success. You will understand and exercise the capabilities in the Virtuoso® Layout Suites XL and GXL tiers to improve your layout productivity.
You locate relevant information using the Cadence® Help system, manage the workspace design environment, utilize the connectivity binder/extractor to validate consistency between schematic and layout, implement synchronous clones to streamline layout, and apply additional constraints using the Process Rules Editor to override existing design rules.
You place devices and pins and create interconnect by using the wire editor, point-to-point editor, and the guided routing editor. Using the Virtuoso Space-based Router, you auto-route a device-level design completely within the Virtuoso environment.
You analyze and update designs with an Engineering Change Order (ECO) process. By applying the Configure Physical Hierarchy(CPH) tool, you examine and implement design changes. You also use the Module Generator to examine and create a layout module.
An appendix detailing the enhancements in the latest IC 6.1.5 release is also included.
