Virtuoso ICADVM20.1 ISR27 and IC6.1.8 ISR27 Now Available

24 Aug 2022 • 2 minute read

The ICADVM20.1 ISR27 and IC6.1.8 ISR27 production releases are now available for download at Cadence Downloads. For information on supported platforms and other release compatibility information, see the README.txt file in the installation hierarchy.

 

  • ICADVM20.1 ISR27
  • IC6.1.8 ISR27

We are no longer providing incremental software releases (ISRs) for the ICADVM18.1 release stream. ICADVM18.1 ISR13 was the final ICADVM18.1 ISR released. The recommended replacement release stream for ICADVM18.1 is ICADVM20.1.

Here's a list of the highlights from our recent ICADVM20.1 and IC6.1.8 releases:

  • Selection of Die Bumps or BGA Balls in the Palette Assistant (Virtuoso RF Solution) 
    Use Pins in the Objects panel of the Palette assistant to select die bumps and BGA balls.

  • Assisted Synchronization of Virtuoso and SiP Layouts (Virtuoso RF Solution) 
    Use the newly-introduced assisted flows to update changes made to a Virtuoso RF Solution compatible layout to the corresponding SiP file and vice versa.

  • Support for Fillet Creation (Virtuoso RF Solution) 
    Use the Fillet tab of the Metal Density Options form to create and control fillet insertion in the design. Fillets are an extra etch added to prevent acid traps on a design, which in turn improves yield and manufacturability.

  • Using the DSPF-in-the-Middle Flow for AMS Simulations (Virtuoso ADE Explorer, Virtuoso ADE Assembler) 
    Use the check box Using HED Config for DSPF Blackbox in the Simulation Files Setup form for AMS simulator to enable the DSPF-in-the-middle flow for ADE Explorer or ADE Assembler.

  • Sweep DSPF Files Using the VAR Function (Virtuoso ADE Explorer, Virtuoso ADE Assembler) 
    Use the VAR function to sweep DSPF files specified in the Simulation Files Setup form or in the Corners Setup form.

For more details on these and all the other new and enhanced features introduced in this release, see:
