Custom and analog/mixed-signal IC designs have some unique IP and symmetry checking requirements for physical design. Waiting until the end of the IC layout process to verify IP instances for correctness or proper symmetry will cause project delays, so an approach to perform earlier physical verification makes more sense. … Read More

IC Layout Symmetry Challenges
Many types of designs, including analog designs, MEMs, and image sensors, require electrically matched configurations. This symmetry has a huge impact on the robustness of the design across process variations, and its performance. Having an electrically matched layout basically means having a symmetric layout. To check … Read More
