Calibre Circuit Verification

The Calibre Circuit Verification suite is a comprehensive set of tools for verifying circuit correctness and manufacturability. It includes layout vs. schematic (LVS) verification, parasitic extraction, and reliability verification—all delivering sign-off quality results.

Calibre supports:

• LVS (Layout vs. Schematic)

  to ensure that physical layout matches the intended circuit design

• Parasitic Extraction

  to model performance-impacting parasitics with high precision

• Reliability Verification

  to check for failure risks like over-voltage, ESD, and latch-up

Calibre nmLVS ensures that the final layout faithfully represents the original schematic. It verifies device parameters and circuit connectivity with high accuracy to ensure functional yield and avoid costly silicon re-spins.

Calibre’s parasitic extraction tools provide high-accuracy, high-performance extraction for all design styles—digital, analog, RF, and mixed-signal. Parasitic extraction stage is critical for accurate circuit simulation and design performance prediction.

Calibre’s reliability verification analyzes circuits for failure mechanisms such as:

• Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
• Voltage overstress
• Latch-up
• Connectivity and topology issues

  This ensures robust designs across process, voltage, and temperature variations.

Yes. The Calibre suite integrates seamlessly with Siemens EDA tools and 3rd-party design platforms, enabling efficient handoff to circuit simulation and downstream verification workflows.

Calibre delivers sign-off quality, silicon-accurate verification results that designers trust to achieve first-time success. The tools are optimized for speed and scalability, even for complex, advanced-node designs.

By accurately modeling parasitics, verifying device correctness, and detecting reliability risks early, Calibre helps designers resolve performance and reliability issues before tapeout—minimizing costly redesigns and improving yield.

It is widely used by circuit designers, layout engineers, and verification teams across analog, digital, RF, and mixed-signal domains—especially in advanced-node, high-performance, and low-power designs.

Design teams choose Calibre because of its proven accuracy, performance, and integration across the IC design flow. It provides the confidence needed to achieve first-pass silicon success and meet tight time-to-market demands.
