Calibre RVE

Debugging the error results of physical and circuit verification is costly, both in time and resources. Calibre RVE provides fast, flexible, easy-to-use graphical debugging capabilities that minimize your turnaround time and get you to “tapeout-clean” on schedule. Better yet, Calibre RVE easily integrates into all popular layout environments, so no matter which design environment you use, Calibre RVE provides the debugging technology you need for fast, accurate error resolution.

What others say about Calibre RVE

“I was using a previous version of Calibre. I had a complex lvs problem that I was having difficulty locating where the problem was. A Mentor AE recommended I upgrade to the latest version which had lots of improvements in the GUI and reporting of errors. The new Calibre RVE/LVS took me right to the coordinates of the violating instance, and I was able to see the short right away. And it told me exactly which node it was shorted to. I would certainly encourage Calibre users to look into upgrading to the latest release of the software.”
