Length : 1/2 day
Course Description
This course introduces you to the maestro cellview and the Virtuoso® ADE Explorer tool that uses it. In this course, you set up and run simulations on analog designs and use design variables in your setup, sweep system parameters and run simulations on a single testbench, using Spectre® as the simulator, and view results in the ViVA XL waveform viewer.
This course is a part of the Virtuoso ADE Explorer and Assembler series:
