Major innovations of Jivaro 4.3 include compatibility with EM analysis tools, extended support for RC subnets modelling large power nets and substrate, improved support of highly hierarchical netlists. With the path finder feature, next Jivaro 5.0 tools will enable easier optimization of post-layout verification flow.
New features of Comanche 3.1 include availability of an application programmable interface (API), faster calculation of effective resistance, visualization of the most resistive part of a path allowing users to pinpoint problems with the interconnections very quickly.
Both edXact’s tools are tightly integrated into the Open Access based Cadence Virtuoso environment.
