Mentor-Calibre-2011.2-download

Mentor's IC verification and sign-off includes not only traditional rule-based physical verification and parasitic extraction, but also new capabilities and automated technologies that help improve yield by enhancing the design itself.

Calibre® is the overwhelming market share leader and the industry standard for IC physical verification, due to the outstanding performance, accuracy and reliability of Calibre products. Over the last two years, Calibre nmDRC™ has reduced average DRC runtime by a factor of five, while Calibre's innovative Hyperscaling and MTFlex™ technologies have cut memory requirements in half. Calibre nmDRC also reduced overall cycle time with incremental DRC, which allows designers to make DRC runs in parallel. As DRC violations are reported, designers can immediately fix and recheck just the affected areas, while the initial DRC run continues.

To handle complex and multi-variate, multi-dimensional checks that are not adequately addressed by traditional design rules, Calibre nmDRC's equation-based DRC (eqDRC) capability enables designers to express design rule checks as continuous, multi-dimensional functions that accurately and precisely reflect underlying physical interactions. With eqDRC, designers can use Calibre nmDRC to address complex DFM issues that other DRC tools simply can't handle.

Calibre nmLVS provides actual device geometry measurement, programmable electrical rule checking, and sophisticated interactive debugging capabilities to ensure accurate circuit verification and further improve the designer's productivity.

Mentor-Graphics-PADS-V9.31

New Features
The following new features are available in this release:
Archive Navigator
This new utility provides a quick and easy method of automatically creating and restoring archives of the PADS projects, including DxDesigner® and PADS Layout.
Archives will be stored in a local vault and properties such as archive name, when and who created the archive, along with a user defined name and description will assist when using integrated searching capabilities to identify and restore the required archive.
Allegro to PADS Layout Import
PADS Layout can now import Cadence Allegro boards after initial preparation in Allegro. Once a Skill script is run in Allegro, the design can be brought seamlessly into PADS
Updated Altium Design to PADS Layout Import
PADS Layout import of Altium Designer now supports Summer 08 files (v7.1) and older.
Modeless Properties Dialogs in PADS Logic (Mentor Idea D113, D239)
Additional Property dialog boxes (Part, Net, Net Name, Bus, Bus Name, and Pin) are now modeless. These dialog boxes can now remain open, and you can select other objects in the design. When the object is selected, the dialog box will automatically update.
Join, Close and Break Commands for 2D Lines and Copper (Mentor Idea D329)
New commands were added to PADS Layout in the popup menu for selected 2D Lines and Copper shapes.
Join – creates an opened polyline (path) from selected lines.
Close – create closed shape (polygon) from selected lines.
Break – splits selected closed drawings into set of opened lines.
Note: There are several conditions when these commands cannot succeed – for example, the selection contains reuse members or shapes located on different layers or the command result is ambiguous from geometrical point of view. In such cases an appropriate message with details is displayed in the Status Window.
Synchronize Library List Between PADS Logic and PADS Layout (Mentor Idea D149)
A new checkbox “Synchronize with PADS Layout” was added to Library List dialog box in PADS Logic. A similar “Synchronize with PADS Logic” was added to Library List dialog in PADS Layout. When this checkbox is selected, all changes made to Library List in one application are immediately written to the other application’s settings. Library List settings are stored separately in .ini files for both applications as previously, so you can easily decide if and when you want to have them synchronized.
Autohatch Copper on File Load (Mentor Idea D424)
The new checkbox “Autohatch on file load” was added to “Hatch and Flood” options in PADS Layout. When this checkbox is selected every design is automatically hatched when opened. The result is the same as the Hatch All command from Pour Manager.
Options Dialog Box Redesign
The Options dialogs in PADS Layout, Logic and Router were redesigned to use trees instead of tabs. In PADS Layout and Router, the tree is organized in categories for better orientation and options grouping. Content of tabs which were overloaded in previous versions of PADS was divided into fewer elements on the new option tree.
Visual Style Selection in Customization
A new option, “Visual Style” was added to the Options tab in Customize dialog in PADS Layout, Logic and Router. This option allows the selection of a visual style (color and menus style) for the main application window from a list of several available styles.
PADS Applications Are Now DPI Aware
With increased text size in system settings, all fonts and dialog boxes are correctly scaled and displayed according to system settings.

Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT) today announced the availability of Calibre® xRC™ and Calibre xL rule decks for TSMC’s advanced 65nm process node. These rule decks provide advanced modeling capabilities including process sensitivity, and self and mutual inductance. Calibre now provides a solution for many types of integrated circuit designs including analog, digital, mixed signal, and memory.

For nanometer designs, accurate simulation and analysis requires more than traditional resistance and capacitance. Designers need a post-layout silicon model that incorporates inductance, process sensitivity effects, and efficient accounting of effects not captured in the device model. Using Calibre xRC and Calibre xL in the design flow helps ensure that designers have all the data they need to obtain successful first pass silicon.

“We have developed testing methodology for parasitic extraction tools to make sure we deliver accurate solutions to our customers. Calibre xRC and Calibre xL performed well in our internal tests and offers advanced modeling capabilities to capture process variation effects that are necessary for 65nm,” said Ed Wan, senior director of design services marketing, TSMC.

“Delivering accurate, complete parasitic models is an integral part of Calibre’s overall objective to improve silicon yield,” said Joe Sawicki, vice president and general manager, Design to Silicon Division, Mentor Graphics. “When coupled with Calibre LVS for device modeling, Calibre xRC and Calibre xL helps designers address parametric yield issues by accurately capturing process variation effects in device and interconnect models. Additionally, customers now have access to a full complement of inductance models with self, mutual and skin effect modeling that is necessary for today’s high frequency interconnect.”

Enabling Accurate Post-layout Functional Verification:
The New Nanometer Silicon Model
Shrinking geometries and increasing design size in the nanometer era have enabled greater functionality on a single chip. But with the increased functionality comes new complexities that create more problems in the attempt to attain design closure. This requires an electrical representation of the chip that accounts for the actual physical design of its devices and interconnect, and accurate silicon model. Calibre xRC and Calibre xL meet the demands of nanometer designs with a comprehensive approach to device and parasitic extraction to compose accurate silicon models enabling a large variety of post-layout analyses.

The PADS I/O Designer family provides for concurrent design of the FPGA and PCB by bridging these unique design flows and automating the various processes needed to implement today's high pin-count, high-speed FPGAs on PCBs. Starting with nothing or an early hardware design language (HDL) description or a top-level DxDesigner(TM) product, the FPGA-PCB interface is quickly defined with a variety of correct by construction, drag and drop PCB signal to FPGA pin assignment methods. The PADS I/O Designer product then synchronizes the interface across the FPGA and PCB flows through:

Automatic DxDesigner and schematic generation
Automatic generation & maintenance of required FPGA vendor files, HDL files, and synthesis constraint files
Optionally, the PADS I/O Designer product will import the PADS Layout physical design for FPGA vendor rules-driven pin swaps. When extended to PCB optimization, the PADS I/O Designer product leverages the PADS Layout physical design to drive PCB trace optimization through FPGA interface unraveling. Also available is functionality to optimize multiple FPGA interfaces simultaneously within a single PADS Layout physical design.

Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq: MENT), the market leader in printed circuit board design (PCB) solutions, announced the availability of the next generation of PADS(R) flow with the introduction of PADS2007. This newest release offers layout designers and engineers the ability to implement RF and microwave circuitry using highly automated functionality, perform design for fabrication (DFF) checking early in the design process, and optimize performance with advanced high-speed analysis/verification functionality, thus significantly improving their productivity and design quality.


"Mentor Graphics continues to invest in the future of PADS by strengthening the capabilities of designers to integrate RF circuitry design, high-speed net analysis and routing, and DFF into the PADS design flow," said Dan Boncella, director of marketing, System Design Division, Mentor Graphics. "This new release extends Mentor Graphics' technology leadership by moving these sophisticated design capabilities into the PADS desktop PCB solutions."

"Harris Corporation is excited about the new enhancements and features that are included in the new PADS 2007 release. The new library structure and direct DXF into the decal editor will save hours of effort for our EDA librarian staff by solving alpha-numeric translation issues and importing RF modeling directly into the decal editor," said John Adamski, EDA Specialist, Harris Corporation, RF Communications Division. "The new RF module has several time saving features. Trace manipulation for RF circuits, automated via shielding for sensitive traces, via plane flooding feature that is user selectable for interior plane fill or exterior (edge) fill. Manual via shielding for RF or EMI is now a thing of the past."

Additional enhancements in this release include:

High-speed routing improvements: controls for matched length nets and differential routing improvements.
Square and chamfered corners, DXF-in import, and via matrixing enhancements for RF design.
Blind/buried via drill table improvements: designs with partial vias (blind or buried) are automatically updated with the layer pairs and drill count of the partial vias in the design.
Alpha-numeric pin improvements: simplifies creation of large BGA-based parts.
ECO enhancements: includes comparison of design rules between the schematic and layout databases.
Design for fabrication (DFF) analysis: powerful fabrication checks, such as acid trap, starved thermals, solder mask slivers are checked in the CAD environment and database, allowing the designer to identify and correct manufacturing problems in PADS Layout, before Gerber generation.
Pin number visibility: the user has the ability to turn on/off the visibility of the component pin numbers, either numeric or alpha-numeric, improving designer productivity during routing.
SI analysis: integration of DxDesigner(TM) and the HyperLynx(R) LineSim(R) tool through a new interface allows fast transfer of a circuit for analysis and back annotation of termination resistor values.
Analog simulation: provides a board level simulation analysis and verification through a common schematic editor for both simulation and PCB design entry.
