Physical Design Flow using cadence

Cadence is an Electronic Design Automation (EDA) environment in which different applications and tools can are integrated together. This allows all the stages of IC design and verification to be done in a single environment. The different tools are supported by different fabrication technologies allowing for customization of the Cadence environment to fit the particular technology.

SESSION-1

➢ Cadence Design Flow – Overview

➢ Overview of features supported by new tools

  • Code a design in Verilog to the design specification that is provided.

  • Compile, elaborate and simulate your design.

  • Synthesize your design.

  • Design for Test.

➢ Functional Verification flow using Incisive

  • Code (block, expression, toggle, state, and arc) coverage

  • Data-oriented functional coverage using SystemVerilog cover groups

  • Control-oriented functional coverage using SystemVerilog assertions and the PSL

➢ RTL Synthesis & DFT flow using Genus

  • Navigate the design database and manipulate design objects

  • Constrain designs for global synthesis and run static timing analysis

  • Optimize RTL designs for timing and area using several strategies

  • Diagnose and analyze synthesis results

  •  

SESSION-2

➢PD flow with Innovus that includes

  • Floor Planning

  • Power Planning

  • Placement

  • CTS

  • Routing

  • Generation of GDSII

➢ STA with Tempus

  • Identify and apply timing debug techniques using the Global Timing Debug interface

  • Analyze a design for timing combined with signal integrity (SI)

  • Run parallel processing techniques like distributed MMMC and Distributed Static Timing Analysis (DSTA)

Basic knowledge of Verilog is desired but optional.
