Introduction to Virtuoso Variation Option
Virtuoso® Variation Option extends the statistical variation capabilities of Virtuoso ADE Assembler and Virtuoso ADE Explorer to allow for more sophisticated statistical analyses to be performed on any design.
Following are the benefits of using Virtuoso Variation Option:
- Provides Fast Monte Carlo (FMC) method, which lets you extract useful statistical information without running the complete set of Monte Carlo samples, especially for high-sigma analysis. This reduces the simulation time.
- Provides mismatch contribution analysis and statistical sensitivity analysis to pinpoint most influential devices within a statistical simulation.
- Provides high-yield estimation capabilities for checking the outer boundaries of your design at the 4, 5, or 6-sigma level.
- Delivers advanced statistical sample reordering that improves the performance of the statistical simulation.
- Features easy, one-step creation of worst-case corners as derived by 3-sigma statistical sampling.
- Lets you integrate custom advanced optimization algorithm written in either C++ or Python into ADE Assembler.
