Cadence can be quite intimidating at first, as most students haven't ever
worked with a package of its size or power before. Here's a quick guide to
some popular Cadence "buzzwords":
Analog Artist - DF-II based analog/mixed-signal design environment
Block Ensemble - DFII-based top level place and router
Category - A logic grouping of cells that are displayed in the Library Browser
cdsSpice - Cadence version of Berkeley's SPICE simualtion package
Cell - The basic building block of a design. Each cell has one or more views.
Cell Ensemble - DFII-based standard cell place and router
CellView - One type of format for representing data in a cell (layout,
schematic, etc)
Composer - DFII-based schematic editor
cWaves - graphical waveform viewer for Verilog
Design Frameworks 2 (DFII) - Cadence's X-based applications framework
Diva - DFII-based interactive design verification. Provides interactive DRC,
ERC, LVS, LPE, PRE
DRC - Design Rule Checking (example: layout spacing errors)
ERC - Electronic Rule Checking (example: shorts between power/ground,
impromperly biased substrates)
HDL - Hardware Description Lanuage
icfb - Integrated Circuit Design/Front-to-Back. The command used to start
cadence and checkout all licenses
Library - The top level where to story design. All files in a library share a
common process technology
Logic Synthesis - The extraction of a gate-level netlist from an HDL
description
LPE - Layout Parameter Extraction
LVS - Layout Versus Schematic comparison
Netlist - a representation of data, describing devices and their connectivity
Openbook - Cadence's online manual
PRE - Parasitic Resistance Extraction
Preview - DFII-based floorplanner
SKILL - Cadence's LISP-like scripting language
Spectre - Cadence's improved SPICE-like simulator
Synergy - Cadence's logic synthesis tool
Synopsys - Third party logic synthesis tool
Verilog - (1) Cadence's digital hardware description language. (2) A
logic-level simulator for Composer-based schematics
Verilog Switch-RC - The RC switch level simulator for the Verilog simulator
Virtuoso - DFII-based layout editor
