2019 was quite an eventful year for Virtuoso^® ADE Product Suite and Virtuoso^® Visualization and Analysis. We not only added new features such as multi-test editor, but also redesigned existing forms to give you the best possible experience with the existing features. Reliability setup, stimuli assignment, and multi-technology simulation are a few examples. Apart from that, we have some newly added post-layout enhancements! 

Another major update from this year is the handshake between Virtuoso^® ADE Verifier and Cadence^® vManager that allows you to seamlessly plan the verification of a mixed-signal design from an analog or digital platform. 

Talking about Virtuoso Visualization and Analysis, several usability enhancements were added, such as graph legends filtering, new sub-windows, adding histories, tests and corners in Markers, and new calculator functions for eye diagram.

Our twin series of blog posts, Virtuosity and Virtuoso Video Diary, were jam-packed with updates of new features and enhancements. And as for the year 2020, we plan to get back to you with even more interesting features and content!

Well, do you feel like you missed out on something? We’ve got you covered! Here is the list of blogs we published for the following products in 2019:
