Second, expand your understanding of the short isolation process, learn about LVS black box flows, and explore advanced LVS topics through this collection of ten training videos. Learn how to run targeted short isolation analysis and debugging on blocks, macros, and chips in early design phases with the Calibre nmLVS-Recon early verification tool, focusing on efficient, prioritized short isolation and short paths debugging that’s faster than a speeding train!

Increase LVS verification productivity in early design cycles.

The innovative Calibre nmLVS-Recon™ tool lets you rapidly examine dirty and immature designs to find and fix high-impact circuit errors earlier and faster, leading to an overall reduction in tapeout schedules and time to market.

Accelerate time to market with Calibre nmLVS Recon technology, a new paradigm for circuit verification.

Mastering these techniques are critical to a strong LVS debug foundation. This short introductory paper identifies the villains, um, challenges you’ll encounter during LVS debug, and how you can defeat them using the Calibre® RVE interface.

Improving productivity with more efficient LVS Debug.

Is being bitten by a radioactive spider sounding easier? Hold on! There is a way to put yourself well on the LVS Hero path without such drastic measures.įirst, start your journey by reading a few technical papers: Mastery requires familiarity with many different elements of LVS, including short isolation, HCELL configuration, when to use a black box approach, device-level circuit debug, and more.

Instead, expertise is acquired over the course of multiple iterations across many different designs. Unfortunately, LVS debug hero status is not something you can acquire from being bitten by a radioactive spider or exposed to gamma rays. It’s times like these that an LVS hero is needed to save the day (and the schedule)! Many a designer has likely found themselves confronted with just such an issue late one night, when meeting the tapeout schedule hung in the balance. Working through a rat’s nest of shorts often seems like an incomprehensible collection of polygons to the uninitiated.

schematic (LVS) verification can make or break tapeout plans. When it comes to system-on-chip (SoC) physical verification turnaround-time, layout vs.
