Key Benefits

All You Need to Analyze the Early Design Phase Integrated into One Cockpit

Easy to Use

Easy single-test setup of various analyses and specifications with color-coded results indicating pass/fail status

Simplifies Verification

Quickly verify mature or advanced-node designs at the early stage with comprehensive analyses

Increases Productivity

Fine-tune your design in real time and dynamically see the circuit performance

Interoperability

Reduce duplicate setup work using while moving to Virtuoso ADE Assembler for an expansion of your tests

Features

Virtuoso ADE Explorer offers a simplified feature set to efficiently analyze and simulate your single test.

  • Visualization of simulation results:
    Display the circuit’s performance through pass/fail measurements with a datasheet-centric display in the GUI, waveform probes displayed on the circuit, or waveform plotting with extensive capabilities in the Virtuoso Visualization and Analysis tool
  • Variable sweep and corner support:
    Easily set up design variables and device parameter sweeps and run them over PVT corners with various analyses, including RF analysis, to test your circuit behavior early in the design cycle
  • Statistical variation analysis:
    Built-in Monte Carlo statistical analysis, sensitivity, and reliability analyses give you a complete sense of the circuit status under various operating conditions or over process corners
  • Real-time tuning support:
    Drill into your design quickly and with minimal intrusion by simply changing variables and see results on a single waveform window to easily track your progress
