In Virtuoso Studio IC23.1, a new Virtuoso Layout Suite MXL design cockpit has been introduced.
The new MXL product tier is the highest tier for the layout application introduced in Virtuoso Studio IC23.1 release. It offers full access to all the Layout EXL functionality. In addition, it also offers access to integrated automated placement and routing solutions with a unified interface to cater to all the design styles across both mature and advanced process nodes.
The Layout MXL tier is also the default cockpit for designing the integrated circuits in the context of the larger system-level designs by providing technologies to address heterogeneous designs, such as co-design and multi-fabric electromagnetic and thermal analysis.
