Boost High-Performance IC Design Flows With Early Interactive Symmetry Checking
In the realm of high-performance IC (integrated circuit) design, symmetry is not just an aesthetic preference—it’s a critical factor for ensuring proper device functionality, especially in analog and RF designs. Achieving symmetry early in the design process helps to ensure consistent electrical behavior, which is essential for meeting performance goals and maintaining device reliability. However, ensuring symmetry in IC designs is no easy task, and many designers struggle to validate symmetry effectively without sacrificing valuable time. In this article, we will explore the importance of symmetry checking, the challenges it presents, and how shifting symmetry checking left in the design … Read more
