Advances in modern-era user interface and software design techniques have taken root in custom
design EDA tools, leading to a new potential for huge productivity savings and faster time-to-results.
This white paper explores these techniques as applied to the creative processes of custom and analog
design, including industry-recognized use models, advanced techniques in user interface, open language
programmable cells and extraction for post-layout simulation.

Consider the number of checks that an IC design team has to go through before tape-out. In each
company, chip failures ultimately translate into additional checks in the sign-off flow. Technology and
design trends are responsible for further increasing the number of checks.
