ANALOG/MIXED-SIGNAL (AMS) DESIGN AND VERIFICATION FEATURES AND BENEFITS: ■ Complete hierarchical physical layout including all-angle and curved polygons ■ Fast rendering ■ Reads and writes OpenAccess with multi-user support ■ Schematic Driven Layout (SDL) that imports netlists and automatically generates parameterized cells and instances them into your design ■ Import Cadence Virtuoso technology and display files ■ Interactive (real-time) DRC displays violations as you edit ■ Cross-probe between schematic, layout, and LVS report to highlight nets or devices ■ Node highlighting for connectivity visualization ■ Object snapping (gravity) for quick, accurate layout ■ Increase routing productivity with automated instancing of parameterized cells, real-time net flylines, net completion tracking, geometry marking/highlighting/ by net and ECO tracking ■ Pad I/O cross reference for easy generation of bonding reports ■ Platform independence on Windows or Linux ■ Ease of use: Intuitive and quick learning curve ■ Unparalleled customer support ■ Flexible licensing Tanner L-Edit IC chip view; the layout tool is a comprehensive analog/mixed-signal (AMS) IC physical design environment. A Complete IC Physical Design Environment Tanner L-Edit IC is an analog/mixed-signal (AMS) IC physical design environment that gives you all the features you need to quickly and efficiently finish the layout of your design, including: ■ Schematic Driven Layout (SDL) capability that allows you to create layout that matches the schematic the first time ■ Interactive DRC displays violations in real time while you edit your layout ■ Node Highlighting for connectivity visualization ■ Pad I/O cross reference for easy generation of bonding reports L-Edit increases your productivity by reading and writing directly to an OpenAccess database, enabling you to share designs with third-party tools. Work in teams with multi-user support that can implicitly lock a cell when you start editing and then release it when the window is closed. Save time by using foundry-provided files directly, allowing you to avoid having to set up technology information manually. Maximize efficiency with L-Edit's physical design features, reduce your CAD manager's support burden, and get up and running easily with platform independence and flexible licensing. Create Layout with Precision L-Edit provides greater precision by enabling you to perform complex Boolean and derived layer operations with polygons of arbitrary shape and curvature. Perform AND, OR, XOR, Subtract, Grow, and Shrink on groups of objects. Display coordinate and distance values in any technology unit, and automatically add guard rings around any shape. Further increase your productivity by mapping multiple layout functions to a single keystroke.

L-Edit additionally allows you to: ■ Perform complete hierarchical physical layout with allangle and curved polygons on an unlimited number of layers ■ Use orthogonal, 45°, all-angle, and curved drawing modes Navigate Efficiently L-Edit provides a built-in Libraries Navigator that enables you to: ■ Efficiently traverse design hierarchy with top-down and bottom-up hierarchical view, non-instanced cells view, or cells view sorted by modified date ■ View your design with the fastest rendering ■ Drag and drop cells into layout from library files, other design files, or the current design...

Other features that help streamline editing include: ■ Pad I/O cross reference for easy generation of bonding reports ■ Change the current drawing layer directly from the layout using the virtual layer palette ■ Perform unlimited undo and redo operations ■ High-resolution plotter support with the same rendering scheme used in L-Edit, including legends, rulers, and headers ■ Perform all-angle rotate, flip, merge, nibble, and slice operations ■ Populate wafers with maximum number of die and label all dies on a wafer with WaferTools ■ Speed drawing and editing by snapping the cursor to object...

Create Automation Macros L-Edit's powerful UPI allows you to create macros that automate layout manipulations, geometric synthesis, batch verification, and advanced analysis. You can further increase your productivity by mapping multiple layout functions to a single keystroke. UPI macros are written in TCL, C and C++ languages and can be executed with directly in L- Ed it or compiled as a DLL. Correct Layout as-you-go with Interactive DRC L- Ed it Interactive DRC displays violations in real time while you edit your layout, helping you create compact, error-free layouts the first time....
