Custom Silicon Design Automation with Cadence PCell DesignerSummary and Conclusion AppCells are PCells that act as apps within Virtuoso Schematic and Layout. AppCells: Complement the functionality of Cadence Virtuoso Not tied to PDKs anymore Leave no traces and they do not create additional dependencies Indistinguishable from manual results Provided as conventional project design and/or PDKs libraries No SKILL code loading required Versioning is simple Work wherever PCells work Schematic and layout AppCells vs. Classic PCells: AppCells are evaluated in the current cellview enables context-awareness, context-modifications Awareness: AppCells can see and thereby consider their neighborhood directly Modification: AppCells can modify content in cellviews directly30 function macroAutomotive Electronics AE/PJ-CE 2019-05-08CDNLive EMEA 2019 Robert Bosch GmbH 2019.

Custom Silicon Design Automation with Cadence PCell DesignerSummary and Conclusion Simple flow integration: AppCells can be invoked in many ways (via bind keys, menu entries, icon bars, generators for DI accelerators) AppCells are loaded automatically during Virtuoso startup via design library loading As with all other PCell Designer created PCells, no additional license is required to execute AppCells Cadence PCell Designer: Existing PCell (methods) can be easily and effortlessly transformed into an AppCell Powerful integrated (programming) design environment (editor, debugger, profiler, Virtuoso integration, ) Faster and safer PCell/AppCell development and know-how reuse compared to plain SKILL/SKILL codingConclusion:Now you can easily create your own apps for Virtuoso within a powerful programming environment.31Automotive Electronics AE/PJ-CE 2019-05-08CDNLive EMEA 2019 Robert Bosch GmbH 2019.
