WiCkeD fully integrated into Cadence Virtuoso platform

WiCkeD ideally complements the Cadence Virtuoso Analog Design Environment and is seamlessly integrated into both .cdb and open access versions. This enables the designer to access and utilize all WiCkeD tools easily from the familiar Cadence Virtuoso based design environment.

WiCkeD Interface to Cadence Virtuoso Analog Design Environment

WiCkeD can be started directly from the Virtuoso Analog Design Environment Tools menu with fully automated annotation of the design data from and back-annotation to schematic & netlist.

WiCkeD Interface to Cadence Virtuoso Schematic Editor

WiCkeD directly annotates the design and hierarchy data from the Cadence Virtuoso Schematic Editor followed by a fully automatic parameterization of schema-tic and netlist design parameters as well as constraint setup and editing. Specifications for circuit analysis and optimization can be easily entered in the WiCkeD Constraint Editor. Parameterized devices and hierarchies can be highlighted from WiCkeD Constraint Editor directly in the schematic editor. The technology setup (nominal, corner, mismatch, global statistics) will be done automatically from the pdk using a technology based configuration file.

WiCkeD Interface to Cadence Virtuoso Multi-Mode-Simulation

WiCkeD fully supports industry standard simulator Spectre Circuit Simulator and UltraSim Full-Chip Simulator. A part of Virtuoso Multi-Mode-Simulation solution. Using third party SPICE from your Cadence Virtuoso environment is also supported by the WiCkeD simulator interface environment.
