Standard DRC is the native tool in L-Edit for checking a layout cell for possible issues. With the help of derived layers, a user can configure Standard DRC to define complex rules. This tech note shows how to realise complex rules in Standard DRC using an example.
This article aims to provide some notes to improve cross compatibility when handling Open Access (OA) databases from other venders and tanner.
Calibre RealTime is a new feature in L-Edit to detect and fix DRC errors on the go using Calibre's powerful physical verification engine. This video shows how to use this new feature and how to set it up with keyboard shortcuts.
L-Edit can be launched from the command line, and various arguments can be used to launch a macro. This comes in handy when a user wants to open a design and run a macro automatically without performing GUI operations. This tech note will guide you through the steps necessary to use this feature.
The abutment feature in L-Edit allows users to take MOS devices that may have bracketing dummy poly devices and perform drain/source sharing at a press of a button. This tech note concerns 22nm processes.
In this video tutorial, learn how to use the wafer tools in L-Edit. These tools will help you visualise die distribution and labeling on a wafer.
The default setting in Calibre PEX is to use the layout pin order. If this causes a mismatch in your flow, you can make Calibre PEX use the schematic’s pin order instead, or other sources.
Automate the loading of Calibre runsets both standalone, or from L-Edit.
In mixed operating system setups, where some tools are on a Windows machine and others on a Linux machine, it is important to establish a communication link between these two systems to enable integration. This note shall guide you on how to set up this link.
The layers' colour rendering settings are fully customisable in L-Edit. This enables the user to have better visibility of the layout and hierarchy if needed. This technote discusses how these options work in L-Edit.
