Calibre xL | EDA Solutions

The Calibre xL tool offers designers fast, and accurate extraction of full-chip frequency dependent loop inductance and loop resistance and automatically accounts for return path change with frequency.

Fast accurate extraction of frequency-dependent effects

With increasing operating frequencies, interconnect lines exhibit inductive effects with significant impact on chip behaviour and performance.

Parasitic on-chip inductance extraction is crucial for accurate simulation and timely tape-out of high-frequency RF, mixed signal and custom digital designs.

FAST AND ACCURATE

Frequency-dependent loop inductance and resistance

Full-chip, high-performance, parasitic self-inductance extraction. Accurate extraction of frequency-dependent loop inductance and resistance. Efficient, realizable model order (RLC) reduction. Return-path selection and net-based extraction frequency selection.
