Cadence Assura v04.12.004.615
Cadence® Assura® Design Rule Checker (DRC) is part of the design verification suite of tools within the Virtuoso® custom design platform. Assura DRC is a full-featured tool that supports both interactive and batch operation modes and utilizes hierar- chical processing for fast, efficient identification and correction of design rule errors in even the most advanced designs.the virtuoso customdesign platform When design objectives dictate manipulat-ing precise analog quantities—voltages,currents, charges, and continuous ratiosof parameter values such as resistance andcapacitance—companies turn to customdesign. Full-custom design maximizesperformance while minimizing area andpower. However, it requires significanthandcrafting by a select set of engineerswith very high skill levels. In addition,custom analog circuits are more sensitiveto physical effects, which are exacerbatedat new, nanometer process nodes. The Virtuoso custom...
