Cadence WiCkeD 9.0 Linux64

WiCkeD is a comprehensive optimization platform that automates the tuning of circuit parameters such as transistor width, length, number of fins, resistance, and capacitance. It supports both pre-layout and post-layout optimization, ensuring performance consistency across all design stages.

Key capabilities include:

• Deterministic Nominal Optimization (DNO): Optimizes performance at worst-case PVT corners.
• Yield Optimization (YOP): Enhances design robustness by maximizing yield under statistical variations.
• Monte Carlo and High Sigma Analysis: Enables deep statistical insight without the computational burden of traditional methods.

Why WiCkeD Matters: Benefits at a Glance

• Speed: Up to 25x faster optimization cycles.
• Efficiency: Up to 60% reduction in power and area.
• Robustness: Designs are validated across all PVT corners and statistical variations.
• Debugging: Advanced GUI tools for parameter sweeps and sensitivity analysis make root-cause identification intuitive
