Offerings

Virtuoso ADE Explorer

Overview

The Virtuoso ADE Explorer allows you to easily explore the initial stages of your design with:

  • Complete corners and Monte Carlo statistical environment for detecting and fixing variation problems before they sink your circuit
  • Real-time tuning for fast and accurate pinpointing of problems with your design specifications
  • Easy to read pass/fail datasheets

Virtuoso ADE Assembler

Overview

Using the Virtuoso ADE Assembler, analyze the various conditions of your circuit with an environment that approaches design and analysis from a specification-driven point of view:

  • Quickly test your circuits’ multiple specifications across corners, multiple stimulus testbenches, and statistical variance
  • Easily create dependent regression tests
  • Verify that your assumptions about critical paths in your design are valid by analyzing partial layout and routing parasitics

Virtuoso Variation Option

Overview

The Virtuoso Variation Option offers a variety of advanced statistical and optimization methods:

  • Fast Monte Carlo analysis employs high-performance sampling methods to efficiently verify yield or create corners, with additional speed-up for finFETs
  • High-yield estimation lets you efficiently analyze the 5- or 6-sigma boundaries of your design
  • Design space optimization flow offers built-in algorithms or the ability to integrate private algorithms, to rapidly re-center and optimize designs

Virtuoso ADE Verifier

Overview

Get a global view of the circuit status with the Virtuoso ADE Verifier. Easily verify that all the moving pieces of the analog design are contributing to the overall design specifications set by your chip architect:

  • Link analog tests across multiple designers within a company to the highest-level specifications of the circuit and view that data in a single, easy-to-use cockpit
  • View test pass/fail results across an entire design team
  • Use regression testing to build a bridge to the digital world in support of mixed-signal verification
