Siemens unveils AI--powered library characterization
Solido Characterizer uses AI engines to accelerate .lib generation from weeks to days and deliver 7x greater throughput.
OVERVIEW
Solido Characterization Suite
A suite of AI-powered library characterization tools delivering quick solutions with uncompromised accuracy. Streamline characterization flows through robust verification, IP selection guidance, and significantly reduces runtime while ensuring production-accurate models and statistical data.
Key Features
Solido Characterization Suite
Solido Characterization suite works with any existing characterization solution for standard cells, IOs, memories and custom cells and supports all .lib data types, including timing, power, noise and variation, and supports all .lib data structures such as NLDM, CCS, LVF, and Moments.
Solido Analytics
- Comprehensive .lib verification in hours instead of weeks
- Finds issues undetectable by traditional checks
- Supports hundreds of standard checks and custom checks
- Compares all library metrics and summarizes information for the user
- Supports custom plots with user-defined functions and variables
Solido Generator
- Uses AI to accelerate characterization
- Produces new PVTs .libs in minutes, 100x+ faster than SPICE
- Works using .libs as input; does not need SPICE simulation or characterizer calibration
- 2x+ speedup for characterization across all PVTs
Solido Library Profiler
- Informed library selection based on PPA requirements
- Smart auto-alignment of .lib data between libraries
- PPA analysis of libraries with interpolation, plots, and reports
Solido Characterizer
- 5x speedup through AI-driven liberty generation and advanced LVF methods
- 2x+ performance boost with Solido LibSPICE; purpose-built simulator optimized for characterization
- Live characterization debugging for productivity through direct integration with Solido Analytics
Solido Characterization Generative AI
- GUI assistant: Accelerates design cycles by providing tool-specific guidance and error resolution at the point of need
- Log analyzer: Pinpoints errors and recommends fixes by analyzing log files and retrieving relevant documentation
- Rule generation: Generates custom rules for validation and analysis within .lib metadata, lookup tables (timing, power, waveform, LVF), and across corners
Solido Characterization Suite
- Massive speedup in library characterization and verification
- Better quality libraries, improved power, performance, and area
- Supports standard cells, IOs, memories, and custom cells
- Works with all characterization tools and flows
- Works on all .lib data types: timing, power, noise, and variation
