  • Getting a Feel for RF

    It was a delight when I read the blog by Bill Schweber of TechOnline's RF DesignLine titled “ Getting some basic RF experience ”. I was surprising pleased that somebody took the time to talk about how one might get the feel for RF. That is because what Bob talks about is more or less...

  • Porting EDA Applications To Multicore -- Part 1

    The EDA industry is gearing up for what may be its largest retooling ever – retrofitting or rewriting applications to run on next-generation multicore platforms. An inside look at how Cadence ported the Encounter Digital Implementation System (EDI) to parallel processing illustrates some of the...

  • OpenAccess, Its Just a Database…

    I suspect that in another year we’ll all stop talking about OpenAccess (OA) like it is something special and treat it the way it should be, that it is just another database. Having said that, I know I’m going to get plenty of email about my portrayal of OA from colleagues and others but that...

  • Virtuoso, the SATs, and the Dark Knight - Part II

    Well, are you still wondering what Virtuoso has to do with the SATs and The Dark Knight ? Well, thanks for indulging me, I hope the suspense wasn’t too much to bear! As I mentioned in part 1 , if you had taken the January 2009 SAT test, again, like my daughter did, you had this as one of your essay...

  • What’s all the Hoopla with PDKs?

    At a purely technical level, Process Design Kits are fairly innocuous. They are used to enable custom IC design flows. A Process Design Kit (PDK) includes device models, schematic symbols, netlisting procedures and parameterizable cell layout generators. Physical verification rule decks and a parasitic...

  • Analog Design Validation: What is Your Recipe for Success?

    Every analog circuit design goes through some kind of electrical validation step before release to manufacture. The depth and breadth of this testing depend on the design itself, the end application and of course that all important deadline. When it comes to custom design, there is also an individual...

  • Virtuoso, the SATs, and The Dark Knight - Part I

    You are probably wondering what Virtuoso has to do with the SATs and The Dark Knight. Well, first of all, it has only been in the past few years (so this, obviously isn’t something I’ve had to do!), but today's high school students now have to answer essay questions on the SAT test, in...

  • Automated Digital Block Implementation Using Virtuoso

    Have you ever found yourself laying out a digital block in Virtuoso where you have so many standard cells to place and route that you wish you could use an automated tool to place and route those cells? Maybe you even at one point considered using a Big-Digital P&R tool like Encounter Digital Implementation...

  • Moving an Ecosystem

    Recently, a colleague here at Cadence created the image of an ecosystem , whose existence was necessary to sustain the ability to take custom design into new realms of ever increasingly small and complex technologies. He of course was referring to Virtuoso . He asserted that “…that it takes...

  • The Value of Virtuoso as an Ecosystem

    An ecosystem as defined by Webster's is a "system formed by the interaction of a community of organisms with their environment". This describes perfectly the methodologies so common for analog and custom IC design. Unable to strictly rely on automation or synthesis, the custom design flow...
