Virtuoso Multi Technology Enablement Form

Creates the technology file, schematic, and layout in a single step.

Field Description

Allegro File

The name of a native SiP file that will be used to create a technology library, Virtuoso schematic, and layout.

Technology and Components

This section provides options to create a technology and components library.

For Existing Libraries

Overwrite technology and components information

Select this option if you want to overwrite the information in the existing libraries. It is useful when the existing library does not need to be kept and can or must be overwritten. For example, PKG_LIB already exists and you want keep the same name but you want to overwrite the content. By default, this option is selected.

Add missing components and via only

Select this option if you just want to add only the missing components and via from the SiP file. It is useful when the existing library must be kept because you may have modified information, such as the schematic symbol or the technology information. You just want to add new cells or vias into the existing library.

Schematic Symbols

Create new symbols from the footprint

Select this option to create new symbols during the libimport process. It is useful when no schematic symbol already exists. By default, this option is selected.

Copy symbols from

Select this option if you want to use the symbols from the standard Cadence or any other libraries, which you can choose from the adjoining drop-down list. The list is enabled when the option is selected. If you have saved well-defined symbols in a library, you can use them.

Schematic

This section provides options to specify the new schematic to be created by the enablement flow.

Library

The library name of the new mult-technology schematic that will be generated.

Cell

The cell name of the new multi-technology schematic that will be generated.

View

The view name of the new multi-technology schematic that will be generated.

Cell Replacement

This section provides a check box to open the Cell Replacement Dashboard after the schematic generation step.

Layout

This section provides options to the new layout to be created by the enablement flow.

Same as schematic cell

Select this option to specify if the name of the layout cell is same as the multi-technology schematic cell. By default, this option is selected.

Specific cell

Select this option to specify another cell for the layout. It is useful when you want the layout view to be in another cell or in another library than the schematic cell or library.

Library

The library name of the new layout that will be generated.

Cell

The cell name of the new layout that will be generated.

View

The view name of the new layout that will be generated.
