Virtuoso Meets Maxwell: Die Export Gets a Facelift

Hello everyone, today I’d like to talk to you about the recent enhancements to Die export in the Virtuoso RF Solution, most of which were released in ICADVM 18.1 ISR10. What’s the background for these enhancements? Exporting an abstract of a Die, which basically represents the outer boundary of the Die with I/O locations, as an intermediate file to exchange information between various Cadence tools (i.e., the Innovus, Virtuoso, and Allegro platforms) is not a new feature. This capability existed even prior to the Virtuoso RF Solution. However, the entire functionality was rewritten from scratch when we first started developing the Virtuoso RF Solution because the previous feature was deemed archaic, its performance and capacity needed to be enhanced, and use model needed to be modernized. This effort has been made in various phases, with the last round being completed and released in ICADVM18.1 ISR10.(read more)

Artists donate free, uplifting images to the UN in pandemic response

The internet is a scary enough place as it is, and now with the added misinformation and panic surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, it's even scarier. Thanks to the United Nations and dozens of artists, however, the internet just got a little more beautiful. 

In late March, the UN put a call out to artists to help combat the spread of COVID-19. They sought creatives to create content around six areas of WHO and UN priority actions: personal hygiene, social distancing, knowing the symptoms, spreading kindness, myth-busting, and doing more/donating. Tens of thousands of artists answered the call in two weeks, and now the COVID-19 Response Creative Content Hub is available for browsing.  Read more...
