Spectre is a SPICE-class circuit simulator owned and distributed by the software company Cadence Design Systems. It provides the basic SPICE analyses and component models. It also supports the Verilog-A modeling language. Spectre comes in enhanced versions that also support RF simulation and mixed-signal simulation (AMS Designer).
For example, its Virtuoso Platform, [42] later renamed Virtuoso Studio, [43] incorporates tools for designing full-custom integrated circuits. [42] In 2019, Cadence introduced its Spectre X parallel circuit simulator, so that users could distribute time- and frequency-domain simulations across hundreds of CPUs for speed. [ 44 ]
A circuit design language (CDL) is a kind of netlist, a description of an electronic circuit. [1] It is usually automatically generated from a circuit schematic.It is used for electronic circuit simulation and layout versus schematic (LVS) checks.
In integrated circuit design, Library Exchange Format (LEF) is a specification for representing the physical layout of an integrated circuit in an ASCII format. It includes design rules and abstract information about the standard cells.
The world of electronic design automation (EDA) software for integrated circuit (IC) design is dominated by the three vendors Synopsys, Cadence Design Systems and Siemens EDA (Formerly Mentor Graphics, acquired in 2017 by Siemens) which have a revenue respectively of 4,2 billion US$, 3 billion US$ and 1,3 billion US$.
SKILL is a Lisp dialect used as a scripting language and PCell (parameterized cells) description language used in many electronic design automation (EDA) software suites by Cadence Design Systems. It was originally put forth in an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) paper in 1990.
SPF is a Cadence Design Systems standard for defining netlist parasitics. DSPF and RSPF are the two forms of SPF; the term SPF itself is sometimes used (or misused) to represent parasitics in general. DSPF and RSPF both represent parasitic information as an RC network.
