Mentor Graphics Calibre Extracted View Interface Completes Integration to Cadence Design Creation Environment

Mentor Graphics Corporation (Nasdaq:MENT) today announced that the
Calibre(R) physical verification and extraction tools are now fully
integrated into the Cadence design creation environment. By
extending Calibre Interactive to include the Calibre extracted
view, designers working on analog and analog/mixed-signal chips can
now perform post-layout analysis and simulation for accurate
nanometer silicon modeling. It also allows designers to adopt a
single physical verification and parasitic extraction flow using
the market leading Calibre tool suite, which includes Calibre DRC
(design rule check), Calibre LVS (layout vs. schematic), Calibre
xRC (parasitic extraction) and Calibre RVE (results viewing
environment), all accessible through the Calibre Interactive
invocation GUI. Designers can cross probe results, debug quickly
and easily, and locate and simulate parasitics using Calibre's
extracted view output format. The pairing of Calibre LVS and
Calibre xRC is especially significant, as these tools extract
actual device parameters and interconnect parasitics for
back-annotation to the source schematic. This results in an
electrical model that faithfully reflects the circuit's physical
design and ensures the accuracy of subsequent post-layout
simulation and analysis. "The combination of Calibre tools and TSMC
design kits gives us best-in-class options for building
analog/mixed-signal circuits for our sensor products," said Jeanne
Hermsen, senior technical staff member for the Imaging Systems
Division (ISD) in Agilent Technologies' Semiconductor Products
Group. "Because Calibre is the sign-off standard at most foundries,
we have a set of tools that is always qualified and current."
"Design teams adopting Calibre reap several benefits, all of which
result in a saving of time, effort and money," said Joe Sawicki,
vice president and general manager of Mentor's design-to-silicon
division. "The integration of Calibre in Agilent's image sensor
design creation environment gives their designers easy access to a
streamlined suite of tools validated for advanced manufacturing
processes." About Mentor Graphics Mentor Graphics Corporation
