Budget entry to IC layout and verification
L-Edit Pro V11 is the latest version of the analogue and mixed-signal design software for IC, MEMS and optical design from Tanner EDA.
Design rule checking (DRC) runs 30% faster than in previous versions of the tool, and a multigrid toolbar feature allows users to switch easily among various grid settings, enabling faster layout and manual routing that is DRC correct.
In addition, automatic guard ring generation, automatic via placement during manual routing, and via array generation allow faster analogue layout.
Guard rings and via can now be set up through L-Edit's user interface or imported from a Virtuoso technology file and a new clip-out region feature allows users to instantly copy the layout in a specified rectangle for fast changes to designs and the ability to import bitmaps or to place geometric text using any font directly in the layout.
Tanner Tool's HiPer Verify, which automates design rule checking for deep submicron manufacturing, has also been improved to support connectivity-based DRC rules.
Foundry-compatible rule support allows it to run Calibre and Dracula foundry files natively, without conversion or modification.
