Creating a SiP Layout from a Package Schematic

Before, you create a SiP layout, ensure that the IC, PCB, and Sigrity hierarchy paths have been set for a seamless flow of tasks in the Virtuoso Multi-Technology Solution environment.

To create the SiP layout:

1. Create a package schematic by selecting parts and adding instances in the canvas.
   
   
2. Choose Launch – Layout SiP.
3. Create a new layout by using the New File form. The Cadence SiP Layout opens.
4. Arrange Cadence Virtuoso Schematic Editor and Cadence SiP Layout windows alongside.
   
   
5. Import the technology and parameter files.
   1. Choose File – Import – Techfile.
   2. Specify the file in the Input tech file field of the Tech File In form.
      
      
   3. Choose File – Import – Parameters.
   4. Specify the file in the Input parameter file field the Import Parameter File form.
      
      
6. In the Visibility tab on the canvas, enable Pin for Layer Conductors. A blank layout with complete technology information is created.
