The faster a design can progress from implementation to signoff verification, the better the chances are of meeting tapeout schedules. The Calibre DesignEnhancer platform offers P&R and custom/analog design teams a fast, integrated environment for implementing Calibre-clean design modifications to reduce IR drop and EM and prepare for physical verification. Not only can designers reduce EM and IR drop issues in significantly less time, but they can also prepare designs for physical verification faster, further reducing time to tapeout. The Calibre DesignEnhancer tool is part of a growing suite of shift left tools within the Calibre nmPlatform designed to support the earlier application of design physical verification and optimization to help design teams achieve their PPA goals faster, and with Calibre confidence.
