Cad tools of vlsi

This file was last modified on. Symbolic links are then made to those release directories so that if you follow the symbolic link you will always get the most current recommended release. If you need a different release, you can always modify the setups to suit your particular needs. Wrappers are available for the commonly used programs and are described below.

The Cadence documentation can be viewed here. To call stand-alone, source the cadence setup script either setup-cadence or setup-ncsu to get the NCSU tech file and then execute with verilog for verilog-xl, ncvlog for nc-verilog, or ncvhdl for nc-vhdl. Verilog-XL is interpreted and was for years and still is for some the "sign-off" version of Verilog simulation. I don't know what exactly Incisive is.

We have a license for the newer versions in the IUS5. These are the currently supported place and route tools that replace Silicon Ensemble, called with wrapper cad-soc.

Documentation on SoC can be obtained here. The signal integrity analyzers are linked in with the SOC Encounter tools, but we haven't used them yet. SignalStorm is a tools used to generate characterizations for standard cell libraries.

It seems like a very useful tool, but we haven't used it yet. Design Compiler Ultra is Synopsys' main synthesis product. It can be called as a shell with syn-dc , or or syn-dv for design vision. The new XG version of design compiler uses tcl syntax for command scripting. Documentation for the XG version and the tcl interface are in the dcxg. DesignWare is a collection of pre-designed datapath circuits see the tutorial and the.

Library compiler syn-lc converts. Module compiler syn-mc is a specialty datapath compiler. A syn-vcs wrapper is available, but there are no tutorials. Some students Binu and Ali?

The hspice wrapper calls a setup script and runs hspice. These expensive in cost. For learning purposes, you can use open-source software tools like Electric, Alliance, Glade.

You can download them free of cost. DipsLab is the fastest growing and most trusted community site for Electrical and Electronics Engineers. If you like what you are reading, please consider buying me a coffee or 2 as a token of appreciation.
