Course Overview

The Using Calibre PERC course will help you understand the wide breadth of problem areas addressed by Calibre PERC, including ESD, advanced ERC, multiple power domains, layout point-to-point resistance, and layout current density. The course will introduce you to this powerful tool and provide a basic understanding of setting up and running Calibre PERC jobs. Calibre PERC concepts will be demonstrated through a collection of detailed case studies. Students will be able to explore Calibre PERC job options and debugging techniques through the use of hands-on lab exercises. The course includes a Calibre overview module for those students not familiar with Calibre applications.

Course Details

Reliability is a growing concern for integrated circuit designers. In response to this growing need, Siemens EDA has developed Calibre PERC to address reliability challenges that arise during the circuit and electrical verification process. PERC is specifically designed to perform electrostatic discharge (ESD) and multiple power domain checks. Calibre PERC allows you to customize ERC checks at the schematic level as well as geometrical and electrical checks at the layout, which gives you more power and flexibility to handle emerging circuit verification demands for design implementation.
