Virtuoso Video Diary: The Next Big Thing — ADE Verifier Teams Up with Cadence vManager

Today's blog highlights the latest enhancements in ADE Verifier. This blog is a part of the mini blog series that we are posting twice a week—Tuesday and Thursday—to cover the just-released features in Virtuoso^®ADE Assembler, Virtuoso^®ADE Explorer, Virtuoso^®ADE Verifier, and Virtuoso^® Visualization and Analysis. This interesting blog series is now coming to an end … Just one more blog to go! So stay tuned.   

In our previous post, we talked about the new look and features of Virtuoso® ADE Verifier in the IC6.1.8 and ICADVM18.1 release. So, what next? Analog Verification using ADE Verifier…. sounds familiar, doesn’t it? But what about Mixed-Signal Verification using ADE Verifier? Sounds interesting? We bet you were waiting for this to come around.

Starting from IC6.1.8 and ICADVM18.1 ISR3, ADE Verifier and Cadence vManager have shaken hands to let you seamlessly plan the verification of a mixed-signal design from within an analog or digital platform. This handshake makes it possible for the analog and digital engineers to work together using the same data across different tools. In fact, the ADE Verifier-vManager interaction allows the engineers working on the products to effortlessly collaborate for any information exchanges – be it related to interface definitions, specification values, assumptions, or any other relevant data.

It becomes super-convenient for project managers to verify the simulation results of both analog and digital components of a design in a unified view. Moreover, the teams can signoff the project using this view. And to mark the home run, you get traceability and tracking of results for internationally acknowledged IEC and ISO standards.

This handshake between ADE Verifier and vManager really does nail it!
