Cadence® Encounter® Digital Implementation (EDI) System provides the most effective methodology to maximize performance, and minimize area and power for high-performance, 100M+ instance and power-efficient designs. Integration with the Virtuoso® custom design environment ensures seamless data transfer and increases productivity for mixed-signal designs. EDI System also supports advanced 20/22nm and 14/16nm FinFET process technologies and system-in-package/3D-IC design. With these capabilities, EDI System delivers the most comprehensive and deterministic solution for physical implementation of today’s most demanding SoCs. BenefitsPredictability and convergence Provides full-chip implementation in a single environment Enables design exploration, fast and accurate chip feasibility analysis, including automated floorplan synthesis and ranking, as well as hierarchical budgeting and planning for convergent hierarchical implementation results GigaOpt throughout the flow and natively...

EXT91 is ok for use with ASSURA32USR2_HF and above but some features such as the usage of a non-existent net \”0\” as the ground net requires ASSURA41_HF3 and above. As ASSURA32 is quite out-dated, please download the latest version of Assura41. I would also think that it is better to upgrade to IC614. The \”What\’s New\” file has some info on compatibility with the various tools.Most pdks are tested with a specific version of Cadence software and request users to use that particular version but this is hard to follow in practical situations because of the rapid release schedules of software upgrades and bug fixes. If your IBM pdk works for IC613, it will most likely work for IC614. You...
