Options for a wide range of applications

SoC GDS Analyzer is the entry-level option providing optimized display capabilities including color and pattern configuration file compatibility with Cadence for drop-in replacement or complementing in design flows.

SoC GDS Babelizer extends the speed and power of SoC GDS Analyzer with advanced hierarchical navigation, input format support complemented with OpenAccess and LEF, as well as (VC)LEF generation. Verification of layouts is accelerated through hierarchical graphic comparison of cells and hierarchical display of annotated nets.

SoC GDS Binder enables socket creation and verification for system-level integration of blocks and ViCs (Virtual Components). Delivery of layouts is accelerated by creation of LVS sockets (black box), hierarchical geometrical comparison of cells and a powerful interpreted scripting language for repetitive processing. An innovative feature for Virtual Cut allows to extract just a part of a layout for verification while totally preserving confidentiality of the rest of the SoC.
