With more and more SoCs employing sophisticated interconnect IP to link multiple processor cores, caches, memories, and dozens of other IP functions, the designs are enabling a new generation of low-power servers and high-performance mobile devices. The complexity of the interconnects and their advanced configurability contributes to already formidable design and verification challenges which lead to the following questions:

While your interconnect subsystem might have a correct functionality, are you starving your IP functions of the bandwidth they need? Are requests from latency-critical initiators processed on time? How can you ensure that all applications will receive the desired bandwidth in steady-state and corner use-cases?

To answer these questions, Cadence recommends the Performance Verification Methodology to ensure that the system performance meets requirements at the different levels:

1. Performance characterization: The first level of verification aims to verify the path-to-path traffic measuring the performance envelope. It targets integration bugs like clock frequency, buffer sizes, and bridge configuration. It requires to analyze the latency and bandwidth of design’s critical paths.
2. Steady state workloads: The second level of verification aims to verify the master-by-master defined loads using traffic profiles. It identifies the impact on bandwidth when running multi-master traffic with various Quality-of-Service (QoS) settings. It analyzes the DDR sub-system’s efficiency, measures bandwidth and checks whether masters’ QoS requirements are met.
3. Application specific use cases: The last level of verification simulates the use-cases and reaches the application performance corner cases. It analyzes the master-requested bandwidth as well as the DDR sub-system’s efficiency and bandwidth.

Cadence has developed a set of tools to assist customers in performance validation of their SoCs. Cadence Interconnect Workbench simplifies the setup and measurement of performance and verification testbenches and makes debugging of complex system behaviors a snap. The solution works with Cadence Verification IPs and executes on the Cadence Xcelium® Enterprise Simulator or Cadence Palladium® Accellerator/Emulator, with coverage results collected and analyzed in the Cadence vManager  Metric-Driven Signoff Platform.

To verify the performance of the Steady State Workloads, Arm has just released a new AMBA Adaptive Traffic Profile (ATP) specification which describes AMBA abstract traffic attributes and defines the behavior of the different traffic profiles in the system.

With the availability of Cadence Interconnect Workbench and AMBA VIP support of ATP, early adopters of the AMBA ATP specification can begin working immediately, ensuring compliance with the standard, and achieving the fastest path to SoC performance verification closure.

For more information on the AMBA Adaptive Traffic Profile, you can visit Dimitry's blog on AMBA Adaptive Traffic Profiles: Addressing The Challenge. 

More information on Cadence Interconnect Workbench solution is available at Cadence Interconnect Solution webpage.

I have completed physical design of a block in innovus. I want to extract rc of that block using quantus .  It will be very helpful if you give step by step procedure and command to run quantus to extract rc of that block.

For a netlist vs. netlist LEC flow we have to solve the following problem:

- in the RTL code we replicate a large array of N x M all-identical hard-macros, let call them MACRO_A

- MACRO_A is pre-assembled in Innovus and contains digital parts and analog parts (bottom-up hierarchical flow)

- at top-level (full-chip) we instantiate this array of all-identical macros

- in the top-level place-and-route flow we perform ecoChangeCell to remaster the top row of this array with MACRO_B

- MACRO_B is just a copy of the original MACRO_A cell containing same pins position, same internal digital functionality and also same digital layout, only slight differences in one analog block inside the macro

- MACRO_A and MACRO_B have the same .lib file generated with the do_extract_model command at the end of the Innovus flow, they only differ in the name of the macro

- when performing post-synthesis netlist vs post-place-and-route we load .lib files of both macros in Conformal LEC

- the LEC flow fails because Conformal LEC sees only MACRO_A instantiated in the post-synthesis netlist and both MACRO_A and MACRO_B in the post-palce-and-route netlist

Since both digital functionality and STD cells layout are the same between MACRO_A and MACRO_B we don't want to keep track of this difference already at RTL stage, we just want to perform this ECO change in place-and-route and force Conformal to assume equivalence between MACRO_A and MACRO_B .

Basically what I'm searching for is something similar to the add_instance_equivalences Conformal command but that works between Golden and Revised designs on cell primitives/black-boxes .

Is this flow supported ?

Thanks in advance

I have been working on a an ASA 17.2 project for the last 6 months.

When I go to Project --> Settings, the settings window does not open. 

The tool indicates that a window is open, as I cannot click on anything else in the project. But it does not show the Settings window.

This has been happening only for the last 2 months. Before that it was working fine.

If I send the project to my colleague, the settings window shows up for him.

Last year, I wrote a blog post entitled Modeling Oscillators with Arbitrary Phase Noise Profiles . We now have an easier way to do this. Starting in MMSIM 13.1 , you can specify the phase noise as an instance parameter in Spectre sources, including...(read more)

Hi,

I want to convert ircx file(which is from TSMC,inclued EM Information) to ict or emDataFile for Voltus-fi.

I tried many way, but I can not make it. Can anyone give me some advice?

and I  do not installed QRC.

below is some tools installed my server. 

IC617-64b.500.21 is used.

Hi Team,

Problem Statement:In hierarchical layout, I want to get BBOX of particular layer without actually flattening the layout.

Description:The layer can be at any hierarchical depth i.e both from PCELL or shapes but at top level if they are overlapping then I want the merged BBOX.

Now, I am able to get BBOX of all the shapes present at different hierarchy.But i finding issue in merging BBOX.

Please can help me on the same issue as I require efficient way to merge the BBOX because list containing the BBOX is huge.

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have a problem with a certain type of transistor,my hyrarchy has a lot components an sub components and visually inspecting them is very hard.

is there a way like in other cadence layout viewer tools , to enter the name of the component or a NET somewhere and it will focus on it visualy or give the hyrarchy path to it?

Thanks.

Hello, i have made a power gain circle for 30dB,for setting a GAIN we need to set a matching network for input and output inpedance.

but in this Gain circles it shows me only one complex number instead of two.(As shown bellow)

Where did i go wrong with using it to find the input and output impedancies needed to be matched in order to have 30dB gain?
Thanks.

Hello, i am trying to produce a gain circles on a simple transistor as shown bellow.

i have defined the range from 1 til 30 dB and i dont get any circle just dots in infinity?

Where did i go wrong?
Thanks.

Hello, There is a manual in matlab of matching LNA  shown in the link bellow.

In it as shown in the plot bellow they mention input and output circle plots.

Is there such option of input and output circle in cadence virtuoso?

I have a script to handle many polys in memory in allegro. 

But after the completion of the script, 

I run the axlPolyMemUse(), it reports (31922 0 0 55076 252482)

Seems too many polys are still in the memory，and they are not being used. 

So how to delete these polys from the memory? And reclaim the memory?

BTW. I have no skill dev license. So gc() function doesn't work. 

Thanks.

Hi,

I have to Take DRC report by cadence skill code I don't know the command to get Element 1 and Element 2 Report any one please help me out.

Hi, I'm trying to create a circle from a pin with 10 mil air gap and at 45 degree rotation. The problem that im facing is that, I'm unable to get the bBox upper left coordinates. Because I want my circle to be placed from that coordinate with a 10 mil air gap. And the pins are "regular" and are placed on "Etch/Top" Layer. Kindly help me in solving this issue.

Specman *search* command allows searching in all loaded modules, but only for a string.

Is there a way to search for a regexp or glob?

Alternatively, is there a way to simply get a list of all loaded files somehow? Then I could use either the "shell" command, or real shell together with grep.

Thanks

Hello, I need to ask a question regarding hierarchy in allegro schematic. I have created one but now i need to make changes to one section so that its not reflected into the other?

I've redesigned a custom TO220FLAT Package

First I created a TO220shape.ssm  with PCB Editor. Then I created a surface mount T220build.pad in Padstack Editor using TO220shape.ssm. Then I created a TO220FLAT.psm in PCB Editor. I placed 3 Connect pins and 9 Mechanical pins for the TO220 TAB, using standard through-hole pads for better current handling.

Adding those Mechanical pins created many DRC errors caused by the proximity of those pads attached to the TO220shape.

Thru Pin to SMD Pin Spacing (-200.0 0.0) 5 MIL OVERLAP DEFAULT NET SPACING CONSTRAINTS Mechanical Pin "Pad50sq30d" Pin "T220build, 2"

I corrected the situation (so I though) by Waiving those DRC errors, thinking that they could not cause any problem and because that’s what I want, i.e.: 9 through-holes under the TO220 device. The idea being that when this device is mounted flat on the PCB it could carry lots of current via 9 pads that could make a good high current conductor to inner layers.

I then saved the Package and updated all related footprint schematic parts  in Capture. Created a new Netlist. Then I imported the new logic into PCB Editor to reflect that change. When the File > Import > Logic is finished I get no feedback error! (which, for me is a substantial achievement in itself)

Now, in the Design Window I see all those DRC errors popping up again, despite the fact that I waived those DRCs back in the Padstack edition. If I run a Design Rule Check (DRC) Report I will see all those DRC listed again. Now, I understand that I can go ahead and waive all those DRCs (100 in total) but I’m thinking there is got to be a better way of doing this.

Please, any advise is welcome. Thanks

I'm trying to re-install ORCAD 17.2  in a PC from a DVD which I have upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10 and  now has a new 500GB SSD. While installing I got a Windows Application Error  0xc000007b. When I try to run ORCAD I get the same Error.

Looking for ways to fix this problem.

Hello All,

I'm currently using OrCAD PCB Designer Professional w/ PSpice (version 16.6-2015).  In the 'Design Object Find Filter' side bar, all options are grayed out and unselectable.  I did attempt to 'Reset UI to Cadence Default' without any luck.  A colleague has no issues with the identical file on his computer.  Any guidance would be much appreciated.  Thanks!
