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.
