![]() ![]() The Industry leading Cadence Virtuoso Schematic Editor provides custom/analog engineers with an easy to use design entry tool with various capabilities to enable fast, intuitive, and comprehensive schematic capture. ![]() Like other object oriented programming languages, SKILL++ lets CAD teams take advantage of latest developments in software programming in customizing their design flows and methodologies. To let engineers take advantage of these techniques in customizing their design flows, Cadence has made SKILL++ available to developers. Cadence recognizes that a new crop of CAD engineers and software developers are more in-tune with object oriented programming concepts. In Virtuoso IC 6.1, we greatly improved the functionality of SKILL. ![]() SKILL is ubiquitous in PDK development with each and every major foundry supplying SKILL PCells as part of their PDKs. All the PDK and GUI development is done in SKILL and many tools that integrate into Virtuoso technologies do so using SKILL. Cadence works closely with customers who are migrating to Virtuoso IC 6.1 technology by providing technical help and application resources to make the migration as seamless as possible.Ĭadence users know that the SKILL language plays a central role in our technologies. The OA database was architected and developed to handle larger designs, offer faster response and enable easier implementation. The OA database was built by Cadence and was donated to Silicon Integration Initiative (Si2) to encourage the adoption of it by other EDA vendors. This allows custom/analog teams to save the data in a format that can be accessed by applications from different EDA vendors without the need for translation. However, starting from IC 6.1, keeping pace with the "open source" movement and the Cadence goal of an open environment, we have started using the Open Access (OA) database. For the last 20 years, the Cadence Data Base (CDB) has been used. One of the major changes in Virtuoso IC 6.1 is the database. With the recent release of unified custom/analog flow that is based on the latest version of the Virtuoso IC 6.1.5 technologies (see Virtuoso IC 6.1.5 press release here), it is time to revisit the strengths of Virtuoso IC 6.1 platform and find out how new capabilities enable designers with the productivity gains they have been clamoring for. ![]()
