Fast and easy design entry


Key Benefits 

   •   Speeds common design entry tasks by 5X 

   •   Eases the development of multiple tests over multiple conditions to
       validate a design’s performance against the target specification

   •   Allows advanced user to quickly execute commands using user-
       programmable bind keys and object-sensitive pop-up menus, which
       display relevant operations

   •   Enables adding design constraints to the schematic to maintain
       consistency and preserve the designer's intent on critical pieces of
       the design (XL)

   •   Speed simulation by using schematic blocks to ceate Verilog wreal
       models

   •   Easily develop low-power models for analog and custom digital
       components through a simplifier user interface (in the Cadence Power
       Format or CPF)
  

The Cadence® Virtuoso® Schematic Editor provides numerous capabilities to facilitate
fast and easy design entry, including design assistants that speed common tasks by as
much as 5X. Well-defined component libraries allow faster design at both the gate and
transistor levels. Sophisticated wire-routing capabilities further assist in connecting
devices. For larger and more complex designs, the Virtuoso Schematic Editor not only
supports multi-sheet designs but also provides the ability to design hierarchically, with
no limit on the number of levels used. The Hierarchy Editor makes hierarchical designs
easy to traverse, and automatically ensures all connections are maintained accurately
throughout the design.
