Ultra-fast standard cell, I/O, and complex multi-bit cell characterization


Key Benefits 

   •   Unparalleled operational efficiency and user flexibility with highly scalable
       systems

   •   Advanced compiler, predictable runtime, and debug capabilities

  
Cadence® Virtuoso® Liberate™ characterization solution is an ultra-fast standard cell, I/O,
and complex multi-bit-cell library characterization solution. As part of Cadence’s complete
custom solution for library characterization, it generates electrical cell views for timing,
power, and signal integrity, including advanced current source models (CCS and ECSM).

Features

   •   Patented InsideView approach automatically pre-characterizes each cell using
        transistor-level circuit analysis to learn all internal logic states

   •   Enables automatic vector generation (AVG)

   •   Ensures a complete, accurate, and highly efficient characterization of library cells

   •   Supports complex cells including those required for high-speed and/or low-power
        design, such as pulse latches, multi-bit flip-flop arrays, level shifters, power switches,
        and cells with sleep modes
