Course Description
Note: This course is based on the default user interface and not the Stylus Common User Interface. We recommend you check with your design team or Cadence AE before selecting this course instead of the Innovus™ Hierarchical Implementation with Stylus Common UI course. If there is no clear preference, please select the Hierarchical Implementation with Stylus Common UI course.
In this course, you explore the features of the Innovus Implementation System for creating and implementing a hierarchical design. You learn several techniques to floorplan your design, create partitions (hierarchical blocks), run place-and-route, and optimize the design (at the block level and top level) to close timing. You learn techniques to reduce memory size and runtime using interface logic models (ILMs).
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Floorplan and create partitions for your design
- Implement the blocks and the top-level design using various methods after analyzing the benefits and drawbacks of each method
