Smarter IC Design Starts Here: S-Edit and Solido™ Design Environment, Better Together

In today’s era of increasingly complex analog and mixed-signal (AMS) IC design, engineers face mounting pressure to deliver high-performance, variation-resilient chips on tighter schedules and shrinking process nodes. Traditional design tools, while powerful in isolation, often fall short when it comes to handling the variability and design exploration demands of modern silicon.

This is where the integration of S-Edit, a leading custom IC schematic and layout editor, with the Solido™ Design Environment (SDE), a cutting-edge variation-aware design and analysis platform, becomes a game-changer.

By combining S-Edit’s intuitive design interface and precision schematic capture with Solido’s machine learning-driven analytics and statistical design tools, this integration bridges design intent with silicon reality. It empowers designers to not only create faster and more accurately but also to confidently optimize for yield, performance, and robustness early in the design cycle.

A new training course is now available to guide you through the various features and licensing schemes of the S-Edit and Solido™ Design Environment integration, ensuring you have a thorough understanding of its capabilities. You will become familiar with the Graphical User Interface (GUI), allowing you to navigate and operate the software seamlessly.

  • You will explore the integration between Solido™ Design Environment and Siemens Custom IC design tool, S-Edit.
  • You will learn how to set up and run simulations using S-Edit and Solido™ Design Environment, covering various flow models.
  • You will discover how to use the Solido toolbar from the S-Edit tool, offering back-annotation, browsing data, different plotting modes, and the waveform calculator.
  • You will cross-probe between S-Edit, Solido™ Design Environment, and Solido Waveform Analyzer tools to gain valuable insights into your designs.
