Calibre RVE
Physical design is a highly iterative process, requiring numerous debug and re-verification cycles. For large deep submicron designs, the total time spent in debug can dramatically impact time to manufacturing. Calibre RVE specifically addresses this problem by identifying design errors instantly in the user’s own design environment. It easily integrates into popular layout environments. With Calibre RVE, designers gain a tool that is easy to use and the information they need to quickly repair errors.
Features and Benefits
- Seamless automated integration with popular design environments preserves the investment in EDA tools
