Unity from Pulsic is a revolutionary fully automated shape-based design solution that delivers true mixed-signal design performance.
A unique integrated solution
Unity enables greater control of signal integrity issues in analog circuitry, together with improved reliability in the digital arena.
- Combines UniPlan, detailed floorplanning, and UniPlace to deliver integrated floorplanning, placement and routing in a single environment.
- Hierachical design rule capability enables simultaneous analog and digital design operations.
Enhanced performance
Concurrent analog, digital floorplanning, placement and routing functions deliver optimized analog and mixed signal design capabilities.
- Supports horizontal and vertical standard row cells, rectilinear and polygonal blocks and regions.
- Full hierarchy management and logical cluster placement
- Full integration with Cadence.
Powerful routing capabilities
UniRoute’s shape-based routing engine supports automatic routing of nets and subnets in a symmetrical pattern — critical for leading AMS designs.
- Automatic and interactive controls for bus routing, symmetric routing, metal strapping, shielding, net layer matching and pin current constraints.
- Analog symmetrical routing for mirroring and flipping.
- Built-in advanced extraction RC technology for independent control of signal path resistance and capacitance.
Intelligent tools
Unity provides signal integrity solutions that improve process yields and increase product reliability.
- Solutions for crosstalk, antenna damage and circuit stability.
