Innovus Hierarchical Implementation with Stylus Common UI Training

Length: 1 Day (8 hours)

Become Cadence Certified

Course Description

Note: This course is based on the Stylus Common UI. Please consult your design team or Cadence AE before selecting this course instead of the Innovus™ Implementation System (Hierarchical) course, which is based on the default UI. If there is not a clear preference, please select this course.

In this course, you explore the features of the Innovus Implementation System software using the Stylus Common User Interface (UI) 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 run time using interface logic models (ILMs). You will also learn how to use blackboxes, FlexModels, and SoC Architecture Information technology to prototype a design when a complete netlist is not available and explore the benefits of using the Integrated Hierarchical Database (iHDB) flow to reduce memory, runtime, and TAT.

Learning Objectives

After completing this course, you will be able to:

• Floorplan and create partitions for your design
• Run pin placement and route busses
• Create and use ILMs
• Prototype a design using blackboxes, FlexModels and SoC Architecture Information technology
• Run the Integrated Hierarchical Database (iHDB) flow for implementation
