2 Silicon-Package-Board Design These Rapid Adoption Kits are related to the Silicon-Package-Board Design using Allegro tools. PCIe Design-In-Kit: Lite This kit in intended to help start with high speed SerDes Channel analysis using Allegro PCB SI. The lite kit also provides an introduction to the Back Channel Analysis on PCIe 3.0 technology. This kit includes the ami models for PCIe 3.0 transmitter and receiver. DDR Kit: Lite DDR3 Design-In Kit (lite version) DDR3 SDRAM (double-data-rate) is a type of dynamic random access memory with a high bandwidth interface. DDR3 is not directly compatible with any of the earlier types, DDR or DDR2. This is due to different signaling voltages. This Kit describes the various aspects of DDR3 Design with Allegro. Tips and Tricks - DEHDL and Associated Utilities Special Edition This workshop helps you exercise a wide variety of DE-HDL commands, some of which may be already known but may not! It includes tips & shortcuts that can help you become more productive while saving you several thousand mouse clicks on an annual basis.
3 Virtuoso Custom IC and Sign-off Flow These Rapid Adoption Kits are related to the Virtuoso Custom IC and Sign-off Flow using Virtuoso Schematic Editor (VSE), Multi-Mode Simulation (MMSIM), Virtuoso Layout Suite (VLS), Physical Verification System (PVS) and other Virtuoso products. Layout Design in IC Faster, more accurate physical design using Virtuoso Schematic Editor and Virtuoso Layout Suite This material highlights new features and explores some basic functionality with Virtuoso Schematic Editor L/XL and Virtuoso Layout Suite L/XL in the release. You will take a design from concept through implementation and learn how Virtuoso capabilities can help you generate designs more efficiently. Increase designer productivity by leveraging connectivity throughout the design process Use ties between schematic capture and layout, commonly referred to as connectivity, to generate designs rapidly without sacrificing quality or performance IC Constraint Driven Custom Design Optimized exchange between front-end and back-end designers for better layout productivity The constraint-driven flow enables you to capture and transfer design requirements formally through the Constraint Management System, and then use automatic and interactive tools to enforce the requirements in the layout to ensure convergence on design goals. Constraints can be verified between front and back to ensure that the layout is using them as intended and that they have been implemented correctly. Finally, the system also enables storing and reusing of constraints across designs or projects. Use the Constraint Management System Use the Circuit Prospector for assisted constraint capture Verify constraints to ensure that design intent is met in layout Use the module generation (MODGEN) capability for precision Pcell-based array generation Perform constraint-driven wire editing Perform constraint-aware editing Perform special net automated routing (differential pair, shielding, etc.) Perform full custom/analog placement
4 Virtuoso Visualization & Analysis (ViVA) Analog/mixed-signal waveform viewing and analysis The Virtuoso Visualization and Analysis tool is an analog/mixed-signal waveform viewer providing the means to thoroughly analyze the data generated by circuit simulation. Learn how to use it either as a standalone tool or as an integrated part of the Virtuoso Analog Design Environment (L and XL). View, configure, and export design data in a variety of formats quickly and easily Interactively analyze and annotate waveform data for design documentation Create and evaluate complex mathematical expressions, and save them for later reuse How to efficiently handle gigabyte transient data files IC6.1 Front to Back Overview Complete front to back design flow in IC615 This material highlights the complete front to back design flow available in the IC615 release framing these capabilities in terms of designer productivity and results from the Metrics-driven Productivity Initiative (MPI). Design creation and constraint capture in the Virtuoso Schematic Editor Design analysis and verification with the Analog Design Environment Constraints Virtuoso environment Buses Constraint aware editing Fluid guardring Virtuoso Spaced-based Router & interactive routing Guidelines on modeling analog circuits with WREAL This material illustrates wreal modeling concepts by migrating a Verilog-A based model of an AM modulation-demodulation system to a wreal model with Verilog-AMS. The wreal equivalent of each block will be created to build up an all digital simulation for system. During the course of the example, guideline steps for creating wreal Verilog-AMS models will be developed and used for developing the wreal models The role of connect modules in a mixed-signal wreal simulation will be investigated The effects of sampling frequency will also be discussed, and the bilinear transform will be used to create a discrete time low pass filter
5 Introduction to AMS Designer Simulation This material uses a simple database consisting of an inverter chain to show the setup and use of AMS Designer. Both the GUI driven flow with ADE L and the text based command line flow are shown The steps to setup an AMS simulation in ADE L are discussed The ADE AMS Error Explanation tool will be used to show how to resolve simulation setup errors The steps needed to build the config view used in AMS simulation are illustrated The schematic based test case will be migrated to command line simulation to give an overview of both the runams and irun AMS command line based simulation flows IC Rapid Analog Prototyping (RAP) Workshop This material steps through a Rapid Analog Prototyping Flow in Virtuoso in IC The objective of this flow is to generate the layout of an analog circuit in an automated manner, in order to obtain early feedback on parasitics and device effects on circuit simulation. As a circuit designer you can thus identify issues early on and make necessary changes to quickly iterate through the flow which helps avoid costly changes late in the cycle and enables faster design convergence We demonstrate this flow using a sample and hold circuit based on a generic 45nm PDK Parasitic Aware Design Workshop ADE GXL's Parasitic Aware Design (PAD) features are used to investigate the effect of parasitic devices on a circuit. This material has been designed to highlight the features and functionality of the PAD flow in IC PAD Flow Overview Estimated Parasitic Flow Extracted Parasitic Flow Parasitic Reporting Flow Estimated PAD Flow using Custom Parasitic Cells
6 Analog Design Environment XL (ADE XL) Workshop Analog Design Environment XL (ADE XL) Workshop Virtuoso Analog Design Environment XL provides a multi-test simulation environment for thorough design validation, extensive design exploration, IP reuse, and early insight into manufacturing variability. This material has been designed to highlight many of the features and functionality of ADE XL. Use Analog Design Environment XL to efficiently manage all your simulations and to easily access all results Validate designs thoroughly over all required corners Automatically create design documentation based on results Use Analog Design Environment XL for improved verification coverage and statistical analysis IC615 VSR (Virtuoso Space-based Router) Workshop IC615 VSR (Virtuoso Space-based Router) Workshop This workshop highlights interactive, assisted and automatic routing features available in Virtuoso Space-based Router (VSR). During the course of the workshop you will be able to apply these features to do some device and block level routing and analyze your results in R-IDE (Routing Integrated Development Environment). Interactive and Assisted Routing in VSR (Virtuoso Space-based Router) Routing Integrated Development Environment (R-IDE) Virtuoso Integrated Physical Verification Sytem (Virtuoso IPVS) Workshop Virtuoso Integrated Physical Verification Sytem (Virtuoso IPVS) Workshop This workshop is designed to highlight many of the features and functionality of Virtuoso IPVS in the IC work environment. IPVS is a capability provided in Virtuoso to continuously check design rules using sign-off rules as you design. The goal of Virtuoso IPVS is to improve productivity by unobtrusively verifying the design and providing feedback during the design process. This is especially important at lower process nodes where the design rules are complex and discovering errors early can save time and effort. Creating layout with Virtuoso IPVS turned on
7 IC Virtuoso Schematic Editor XL PIEA, Conformal Low Power: Mixed- Signal Low Power Structural Verification Includes Rapid Adoption Kit with demo design (instructions are provided on how to setup user environment). Introduces the Power Intent Export Assistant (PIEA) feature that has been introduced in IC615 release. The power intent extracted is then verified by calling Conformal Low Power (CLP) which is built inside Virtuoso environment. Setup for PIEA Perform power intent extraction CPF Import Generate macro CPF and design CPF Perform low power verification by running CLP Schematic Model Generator Virtuoso Schematic Model Generator (SMG) is tightly integrated into the Virtuoso design environment and enables the generation of analog/mixed-signal behavioral models using a schematic-like representation of the behavioral model. The schematic view is then processed to generate the behavioral model. With this approach, behavioral modeling becomes easier to comprehend, communicate to involved team members and is better managed compared to manual textual entry. What is SMG Key benefits of SMG and a tutorial to demonstrate how to create a simple behavioral model for a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) in the graphical modeling environment Schematic Model Generator (SMG) Creating Custom Connect Rules for AMS Simulation in ADE This document outlines the process used to create custom connect rules for running Mixed-Signal simulation in ADE with AMS Designer. The 5V connect rules that ship with the AMS simulator in the INCISIV installation will be copied to the working directory to create a set of custom connect rules for 1.5V. The example will show how to modify the rules file for 1.5V and how to build a connect rule library that will be recognized by the Connect Rule setup dialog in ADE. A short simulation will be used to validate the rules.
8 Spectre Device Checks Spectre device checking is used to monitor if devices in the circuit design are violating predefined set of conditions. The example describes the usage of the Spectre device checking feature. Set up device checks to insure that low voltage devices are not inadvertently used in a high voltage application. In the event a device is operating in an overvoltage condition, the check can show a warning or cause the simulation to stop on an error. Checking for conditions such as this can be an important productivity boost for long simulations since the simulation will stop right away when the condition is violated rather than finding out after the simulation has completed. Device Checking setup can be saved as with the ADE State for reuse or setup with an include file. Both methods will be explored. Using Spectre Save-Recover Spectre and APS have the capability to save a simulation state and restart the simulation from the saved state file. The simulation state for long simulations can be periodically saved to allow recovery from unforeseen circumstances, such as power outages or disk full issues. The save/recover methodology can also be used to restart simulations with different parameters or inputs. This example will illustrate using Spectre/APS Save-Recover from both ADE and command line based simulation. Using Spectre Save-Recover from ADE Using Spectre Save-Recover from the Command Line Additional Information/Quick Reference Basics of Inherited Connections Often times in design, the same cells need to be used in different parts of the circuit which use different power supply voltages. Inherited connections provide a mechanism to selectively override net connections by placing properties on the parent instance. Therefore the same cell can be used with different power supplies without the need for explicit power and ground pins. This document describes how inherited connections work with a sample design which shows how power and ground connections for the same cell can be different in the schematic hierarchy. Investigating Inherited Connections Setting Up Inherited Connections How Net Expressions Are Evaluated
9 Passing Parameters in the Schematic Hierarchy with ppar Schematics can be parameterized with ppar parameters to allow passing parameters from a parent instance to the lower level schematic (the child). This mechanism facilitates defining high level parameters to define the functionality of the circuit. The test case used for this example defines a strength parameter to set the drive capability of a buffer circuit. The strength parameter is passed down through the schematic hierarchy to define the size of the mos devices making up the buffer which in turn defines the current the buffer is capable of driving. Investigate Parameter Passing with ppar How to Setup Parameter Passing with ppar Adding ppar Parameters to Existing Schematics Setting defaults for ppar Parameters Power, Ground and Structured Routing Implementation Flow The flow leverages a combination of existing Virtuoso functionality, Virtuoso Routing TCL commands, and custom SKILL scripts to enable users to efficiently build custom power, ground and structured signal routes. An assisted flow where users have detailed control over how data is created but should rarely need to create or manipulate the data using the lowest level commands such as create, stretch, etc. Data is created and manipulated at high level, no need for time consuming zooming, placement or alignment of objects at the manufacturing grid level. The flow also supports creation of power and ground rough-in during early floorplanning. This flow is intended for Analog Mixed-Signal designs at the chip, block and device level in Virtuoso.
