Cadence Virtuoso, Release Version ICADVM 20.10.000
Cadence Virtuoso, Release Version ICADVM 20.10.000 | 10.1 Gb
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. , the leader in global electronic design innovation, has unveiled Virtuoso, Release Version ICADVM 20.10.000 Base. This software consists of features and functionality required for creating 5nm designs, which include an accelerated, row-based custom placement and routing methodology.
Featured Enhancements
Here is a listing of some of the important updates made to the ICADVM20.1 and IC6.1.8 ISR14 releases:
ICADVM20.1 Only
Bond Wires in Cross-Fabric EM Models (Virtuoso RF Solution)
Electromagnetic simulations for cross-fabric designs now support ICs connected through bond wires.
Material File in EM Simulation (Virtuoso RF Solution)
Specify a material file in the process stackup that Electromagnetic Solver assistant sends to Clarity 3D for simulations. This file provides support for advanced material properties and frequency-dependent dielectrics.
Create Split Symbols (Virtuoso Schematic Editor XL)
Split a large symbol into multiple partial symbols by using the Split Symbols feature in Virtuoso Schematic Editor. Splitting large symbol masters improves the legibility of pin symbols, especially in large PCB and package schematics.
Virtuoso Power Manager for Static Power Verification (Virtuoso Schematic Editor XL)
Virtuoso Power Manager enables static power verification for analog and mixed signal IPs by checking, extracting, exporting, and verifying the power intent of IP designs.
Layer-Based flow in Concurrent Layout (Virtuoso Layout Suite EXL and Virtuoso Layout Suite XL)
Define layer-based partitions using the layer-based flow in Concurrent Layout. When these design partitions are defined, two dedicated constraint groups are also created. These constraint groups assist you in routing and interactive wire editing. This way, you can limit the editing only to those layers that are part of the current layer-based design partition.
Design Planning and Analysis (Virtuoso Layout Suite EXL)
The Virtuoso Design Planner tool has been replaced by the Virtuoso Design Planning and Analysis (DPA) tool, which supports an expanded range of floorplanning, design planning, and congestion analysis capabilities, including support for hard blocks, soft blocks, and virtual hierarchies. This enhanced support is accessible through a unified Plan menu, Design Planning workspace, and Design Planning toolbar, all of which are available from the Layout EXL window.
ICADVM20.1 and IC6.1.8 ISR14
Distribute Simulation Jobs (Virtuoso ADE Explorer and Virtuoso ADE Assembler)
Control thousands of netlisting and simulation jobs in parallel using the default job control mode, LSCS (Large-Scale Cloud Simulations) in Virtuoso ADE Explorer and Virtuoso ADE Assembler. LSCS implements a new architecture to run simulations with better resource utilization. It also enables future scalability requirements for cloud simulations.
Merge Histories (Virtuoso ADE Assembler)
Merge the results from multiple histories into a single history without running a simulation. Merging histories not only merges the results from different histories, but also merges setups used in those histories.
Performance Diagnostic Tool (Virtuoso Design Environment)
Use the Performance Diagnostic tool to isolate issues that might have caused an application to slow down or freeze. It has an auto-hiding control toolbar to let you record callstacks when the application slows down.

The Cadence Virtuoso System Design Platform links two world-class Cadence technologies—custom IC design and package/PCB design/analysis—creating a holistic methodology that automates and streamlines the design and verification flow for multi-die heterogeneous systems.
Leveraging the Virtuoso Schematic Editor and the Virtuoso Analog Design Environment, it provides a single platform for IC-and package/system-level design capture, analysis, and verification. In addition, the Virtuoso System Design Platform provides an automated bidirectional interface with the Cadence SiP-level implementation environment and Clarity 3d Solver.
The Virtuoso System Design Platform allows IC designers to easily include system-level layout parasitics in the IC verification flow, enabling time savings by combining package/board layout connectivity data with the IC layout parasitic electrical model. The automatically generated “system-aware” schematic that results can then be easily used to create a testbench for final circuit-level simulation. The Virtuoso System Design Platform automates this entire flow, eliminating the highly manual and error-prone process of integrating system-level layout parasitic models back into the IC designer’s flow.
The Virtuoso Advanced-Node and Methodology Platform (ICADVM) consists of features and functionality required for creating 5nm designs, which include an accelerated, row-based custom placement and routing methodology that enables users to improve productivity and better manage complex design rules. Cadence introduced several features that support the 5nm process including stacked gate support, universal poly grid snapping, area-based rule support, asymmetric coloring and voltage-dependent rule support, analog cell support and support for various new devices and design constraints that are part of TSMC’s 5nm technology offering.
