UniEdit™

UniEdit is a full connectivity-driven, intelligent, interactive editing environment that generates dramatic productivity enhancements for all types of IC design. Compared to standard layout editing environments, UniEdit provides fast and accurate layout creation and modification, while comprehensive reports and checks ensure full support for design-for-manufacture adherence.

As a product of Unity™, UniEdit is fully integrated with hierarchical floorplanning, placement, routing, timing and signal integrity components ― a single mouse click enables you to move between individual components with ease.

Powerful editing features

UniEdit gives you the freedom to move from automatic interactive editing mode to a fully manual mode. Continuous and interactive DRC checking ensures manual operations are completed error-free.

• Comprehensive shape-editing suite (data entry/routing/shape manipulation/merging/breaking/slotting etc).
• Real-time error markers.
• Push-aside compaction plus push-aside and spring-back feature.
• Unlimited undo/redo capability.
• Automatic and interactive bus routing.
• DRM specific layout capabilities and checking, including density and routed slotting.

Enhanced design performance

‘Change layer’ and ‘change width’ features offer correct via selection (as a result of continuous DRC maintenance) to produce high quality layout efficiently. UniEdit exits Poly gates, adds vias and changes track width to pin to support effective foot printing.

• Automatic guard ring generation and strapping (which are DRC/LVS clean) connected to any specified net (via arrays are inserted accordingly).
• Supports concentric guard rings (N+, P+).
• Automatic workround of guard ring obstructions.
