Electric is a sophisticated electrical CAD system that can handle
many forms of circuit design, including:
Custom IC layout (ASICs), Schematic drawing, Hardware description
language specifications, Electro-mechanical hybrid layout
Electric has these CAD operations:
Design rule checking (3 options), Electrical rule checking,
Simulation and simulation interface (12 options), Generation (3 options),
Compaction, Compensation, Routing (4 options), VHDL compilation,
Silicon compilation, Network consistency checking (LVS),
Logical Effort analysis, Project Management
Electric handles these types of design:
MOS (6 CMOS variations, 1 nMOS variation), Bipolar and BiCMOS,
Schematics and printed circuits, Digital filters, Temporal logic, Artwork
Electric handles these file formats:
CIF I/O, GDS I/O, EDIF I/O, DXF I/O, SDF Input,
SUE Input, VHDL I/O, Verilog Output, EAGLE, PADS, and ECAD Output,
PostScript, HPGL, and QuickDraw output
