WiCkeD fully integrated into Synopsys Custom Design tools

WiCkeDTM is seamlessly integrated into Synopsys Custom DesignerTM and has a tight interface with Synopsys® HSPICE® and CustomSimTM simulation environment including HSIM, NanoSIM and XA. (Link: http://www.synopsys.com/...)

WiCkeD Interface to Synopsys Custom Designer SE

WiCkeD can be started directly from the Synopsys Custom Designer SE Tools menu with fully automated annotation of the design data from and back-annotation to schematic & netlist.

WiCkeD directly annotates the design and hierarchy data from the Synopsys Custom Designer SE schematic editor followed by a fully automatic parameterization of schematic 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.

Using WiCkeD’s MTB multi-testbench environment it is now also possible to use the Synopsys Custom Designer SE with multi-testbench design & sizing applications.

WiCkeD Interface to Synopsys CustomSIM simulation environment

WiCkeD fully supports Synopsys industry standard simulators including HSPICE, HSIM, NanoSIM, XA. Using third party SPICE from Synopsys Custom Designer environment can be also supported by the WiCkeD.
