Designers have long recognized the need to analyze the reliability of ICs. Two commonly used approaches for performing reliability analysis include calculating the change in device degradation and relying on safe operating checks in circuit simulators. 

With the advent of the ever-increasing use of ICs in mission-critical applications, the need for reliable reliability analysis has become of paramount importance. Over the years, you have been using reliability analysis in Virtuoso ADE Assembler and Virtuoso ADE Explorer to measure and review aging effects, such as device characteristic degradations, model parameter changes, self-heating effects, and so on.

Reliability analysis can be performed using two modes: Spectre native and RelXpert. The reliability analysis analyzes the effect of time on circuit performance drift and predicts the reliability of designs in terms of performance. In ADE Assembler, you can run the reliability simulation for fresh test (when time is zero), stress test (to generate degradation data), and aged test (at specific intervals, such as one year, three years, or 10 years). In the stress test, extreme environmental conditions are used to stress devices before aging analysis.

The following figure shows the reliability simulation flow.

The Reliability Options form has the following four tabs: 

• Basic: Enables you to specify analysis type, aging options, start and stop time of reliability simulation, and options related to device masking, degradation ratio, and lifetime calculation. 

• Modeling: Enables you to choose the modeling type you want to use during reliability simulation. 

• Degradation: Enables you to specify the options to print device and subcircuit degradation information into a .bt0 file. 

• Output: Enables you to specify the degradation reports to be generated and methods to filter degradation results in the reports.

While the Basic and the Output tabs are used by design engineers, the Modeling and the Degradation tabs are primarily used by model developers.

Reviewing degradation reports in text or XML formats can be a tiresome exercise because degradation data can be large and can contain a large number of instances due to advanced technology nodes and post-layout simulations. For you to work effectively and interactively with these reports, the new reliability report is based on the SQLite database, which adds the benefit of improved performance and capabilities of sorting and filtering reliability data using SQLite operators.

As they say, watching this in action might help you more than reading about it, so please take a look at our Training Bytes video channel, which offers many helpful videos on how to run Reliability Analysis in Virtuoso Studio.

All the related videos are linked together in a channel so that you can easily access and watch as many as you like.

During a mixed-signal simulation, the analog engine usually dominates the simulation time and resources. If you need to run only the analog engine in several windows, or if you would like to to run multiple tests of the same circuit with different stimuli or test pattern, then you need to run the simulation multiple times.

The traditional methods of power analysis lag by various shortcomings and challenges:

• Getting an accurate measure of RTL power consumption during design exploration
• Getting consistent power through the design progress from RTL to P&R.
• System-level verification tools are disconnected from the implementation tools that translate RTL to gates and wires.

The Cadence Joules RTL Power Solution closes this gap by delivering time-based RTL power analysis with system-level runtimes, capacity, and high-quality estimates of gates and wires based on production implementation technology. The Cadence Joules RTL Power Solution is an RTL power analysis tool that provides a unified engine to compute gate netlist power and estimate RTL power. The Joules solution delivers 20X faster time-based RTL power analysis and can analyze multi-million instance designs overnight, with impressive accuracy within 15% of signoff power.

Moreover, it integrates seamlessly with numerous Cadence platforms, eliminating compatibility and correlation issues! In addition, the Joules RTL Power Solution GUI (Graphical User Interface) helps you analyze/debug the power estimation/results using several GUI capabilities.

Want to take a tour of this power estimation world? Gear up to attend the training class created just for you to dive deep into the entire flow and explore this exciting power estimation method/flow with hands-on labs in two days!

Training

In the Joules Power Calculator Training course, you will identify solutions and features for RTL power using Cadence Joules RTL Power Solution. You will set up and run the RTL power flow with Joules RTL Power Solution and identify Joules's Graphical User Interface (GUI) capabilities. The training also explores how you can estimate power using vectorless power, stimulus flow, RTL Stim to Gate flow, and replay flow, and also interfaces Joules with Cadence's Palladium Emulation Platform. You will estimate power at the chip level and understand how to navigate the design and data mining using Joules.

The training also covers power exploration features and how to analyze ideal power and ODC-driven sequential clock gating. You will identify low-activity registers at the clock gate. You will also identify techniques to analyze power, generate various reports, and analyze results through Joules GUI. The training covers multiple strategies to debug low stimulus annotation and how you can better correlate RTL power with signoff. You also identify Genus-Joules Integration. In addition, we ensure that your learning journey is smooth with hands-on labs covering various design scenarios.
