Unified Libraries

---

Unified libraries refer to the consistent organization of design data libraries. They provide a single point of entry for all Virtuoso-driven multiple technology flows. The flows include:

• Virtuoso Multi-Technology Solution: a Virtuoso schematic-driven Allegro Package Designer Plus or Layout MXL implementation flow
• Virtuoso RF Solution: a Virtuoso schematic-driven Virtuoso layout implementation flow
• Virtuoso EM Flow: a verification flow that allows the extraction of parts of an entire system that can be stitched into a schematic for simulation

Libraries contain schematic symbols, footprints, component definition mapping between schematic symbol and footprints, TILP supermasters, part variance CSV files, and simulation models. The mapping between schematic and layout components is implemented through standard parameters specified on schematic instances. The interpretation of these parameters is uniform across packages, dies, embedded components, and surface-mounted devices. These libraries can be used for the implementation and verification of hierarchical schematics and layouts that span across boards, modules, packages, and ICs in an intelligent system design.
