The Virtuoso Advanced Node is a set of custom/analog capabilities which are designed specifically for the advanced technology nodes of 20 nm and below. Built on the industry-leading Cadence Virtuoso custom/analog technology, Virtuoso Advanced Node features unique capabilities that prevent errors before they are created rather than detect them late in the design process.
The new and advanced Virtuoso technologies address the toughest challenges facing engineers, including layout-dependent effects (LDEs), double patterning, color-aware layout and new routing layers. They integrate seamlessly with the Cadence Integrated Physical Verification System (IPVS) — a foundry-qualified technology for signoff DRC and DPT checking — to conduct on-the-fly checks that reduce layout iterations.
