Verification Tips:
Debug and Compare Waveforms Expanded from Multiple Essential Signal Dump (ESD) FSDB Files
Sometimes it is desirable to debug and compare waveforms expanded from multiple Essential Signal Dump (ESD) FSDB files using one or more nWave windows and the expectation is that the debug functionality available for multiple full dump FSDB files (e.g. easily drag and drop to any nWave window) would also be available for multiple ESD FSDB files.
IC Design Tips:
Transistor Placement with the Multi-Row Stick Diagram
The Stick Diagram is used to display transistors in a higher level abstract view for easier transistor manipulation. User's constraints are honored while transistors are moved, swapped, merged, aligned, split and folded. It is invoked when one or more transistors are selected and created from within the Design Browser, when instances are dragged and dropped from the Schematic window to the Layout window, or when a transistor is selected and the Selected Transistor to Stick Diagram toolbar icon in the Layout window is clicked. Multi row placement is an option available to users to further assist with transistor manipulation.
Upcoming Events:
Aldec/SpringSoft Verification Seminar
Aldec, Inc. is pleased to invite you, and your design team to our ABSOLUTELY FREE On-line Webinar.
Date : Thursday, April 9, 2009
Time : 11:00 AM PDT
Cost : Free
Aldec's Riviera-PRO simulator is now integrated with SpringSoft's powerful Verdi Automated Debug System. Learn how Riviera-PRO and The Verdi system work together to provide maximum verification efficiency. You will see how the Verdi system's unique Behavior Analysis (BA) technology automates the debug process and significantly reduces the time required to understand design behavior and isolate the causes of incorrect operation. Using Verdi with Riviera-PRO, you can reduce debug time by more than 50% compared to other debug solutions, giving you back precious time that you can apply to more important tasks.
