ENOVIA® Synchronicity for DFII provides design data management for Cadence® data, in either CDBA (Cadence® DataBase Access) or OpenAccess formats. It extends the design data management capabilities of both ENOVIA® Synchronicity DesignSync® Data Manager and ENOVIA® Synchronicity® DesignSync® Central™.
Overview : ENOVIA Synchronicity for DFII integrates ENOVIA Synchronicity DesignSync Data Manager and ENOVIA Synchronicity DesignSync Central with the Cadence DFII (Design Framework II) graphical IC (integrated circuit) design environment, recognizing and efficiently managing Cadence library design data. The Cadence DFII IC graphical design environment is modified with the addition of ENOVIA Synchronicity menus and commands. Designers are able to perform Design Data Management (DDM) operations such as check-in, checkout, or tag without leaving the familiar Cadence graphical environment, and without having to manage the actual collections of files and directories on disk which represent Cadence objects such as schematic diagrams.
