Virtuoso Electromagnetic Solver integration allows layered parasitic extraction and electromagnetic simulation with Cadence Quantus Extraction Solution and Cadence EMX Planar 3D Solver. The seamless integration automatically ensures that parasitic effects are neither missed nor double-counted during post-layout circuit simulation. But what am I doing with custom passive devices? How can I include the parasitics of the remaining circuit? The blackbox and graybox flows allow to define the custom passive device either as a blackbox or as a graybox to ensure that the devices inside are not extracted during the layout versus schematic check.(read more)
