Innovus Hierarchical Implementation with Stylus Common UI

Length: 1 day (8 Hours)

Digital Badge Available

Course Description

Note: This course is based on the Stylus Common UI. Please consult with your Cadence AE before deciding to take this course instead of the course called Innovus™ Implementation System (Hierarchical), which is based on the default UI and not on the Stylus UI.

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 the memory size and run time by 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 Stylus Hierarchical Database (SHDB) 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 Stylus Hierarchical Database (SHDB) flow for implementation
