Calibre DesignEnhancer Overview

Estimated Watching Time: 3 minutes

Jeff Wilson, a director of product management at Siemens EDA, introduces Calibre DesignEnhancer, a new component of the Calibre Shift left initiative aimed at bringing Calibre technology to designers earlier in the design process. With a focus on improving design quality and reducing time to market, Calibre DesignEnhancer offers three use models: VIA, PGE (Power Grid Enhancement), and PVR (Physical Verification Ready). Already adopted by four of the top five fabless semiconductor manufacturers, DesignEnhancer maximizes the number of vias, enhances power grid efficiency, and accelerates physical verification readiness. The tool prioritizes ease of use for both foundries and designers, supporting industry standards and providing seamless integration with design tools. Wilson encourages semiconductor designers and manufacturers facing challenges in achieving EM/IR constraints or shortening time to market to reach out to the Siemens sales teams for a demo and evaluation.
