Synaptics has been using Cliosoft SOS and SOS with DF2 interface for three years. During this time, the user pool has gone from 16 to 100. Almost 20% of the company has accessed Cliosoft SOS either through the SOS command line, SOS revision control of text files, SOS revision control via Cadence DF2, ...
To develop best-in-class solutions for the automotive industry, an ISO 26262-certified design management platform is a must. Last year we adopted Cliosoft’s SOS design management platform and found it to be a scalable and configurable solution that meets our requirements of ...
We've found that a DM infrastructure, properly defined and executed, increases the likelihood of first-pass silicon success by decreasing mistakes caused by the use of obsolete data. Cliosoft's new SOS platform should help us share data and greatly ease the task of moving personnel between ...
My company has eight design offices distributed across America and Europe developing chips for Network Communications Ultra Low Power markets. I am responsible for the EDA Infrastructure within the company. We have used SOS as our standard configuration management solution for several ...
KEEPING SCHEMATICS AND LAYOUTS IN SYNC
Cliosoft VDD helps schematic and layout engineers using Cadence® Virtuoso® Platform to collaborate and ensure that the latest schematics and layouts are 100% in sync. A schematic engineer can make changes to the schematic without keeping notes to report to the layout engineer. The layout engineer can see all the changes precisely without any help from the designer and can modify the layout to match the latest schematic changes.
CHECK-INS MADE
ACCURATE
Cliosoft VDD allows you to review your changes before check-in by automatically generating a report that is 100% accurate. Every change is outlined, even cosmetic changes between the new version of your schematic or layout vs. the old version. You also have the ability to suppress cosmetic changes and not show them.
ECO DESIGN REVIEWS JUST GOT A LOT EASIER
Cliosoft VDD makes preparation for ECO review meetings easy. Automatically generate reports outlining all the changes ahead of your next ECO review meeting with management. Nothing is missed and everything is reported for you.
