EDA Database - Major Features of An EDA Specific Database

Major Features of An EDA Specific Database

An EDA specific database is expected to provide many basic constructs and services. Here is a brief and incomplete list of what is needed:

  • Fundamental Features
    • The Design (or Cell) as the Basic Unit
    • Shapes and Physical Geometry
    • Hierarchy
    • Connectivity and Hierarchical Connectivity
  • General Constructs
    • API Forms
    • Utility Layer
  • Advanced Features
    • Parameterized Designs
    • Namespaces and Name Mapping
    • Place-and-Route Constructs
    • Timing and Parasitic Constructs
    • Occurrence Models and Logical/Physical Mapping
    • Interface to Configuration management
    • Extensibility
  • Technology Data
    • Layer Definitions
    • Design Rules
    • Generation and extraction rules for simple devices
  • Library Data and Structures: Design-Data Management

Famous quotes containing the words major, features and/or specific:

    “As a novelist, I cannot occupy myself with “characters,” or at any rate central ones, who lack panache, in one or another sense, who would be incapable of a major action or a major passion, or who have not a touch of the ambiguity, the ultimate unaccountability, the enlarging mistiness of persons “in history.” History, as more austerely I now know it, is not romantic. But I am.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    “However much we may differ in the choice of the measures which should guide the administration of the government, there can be but little doubt in the minds of those who are really friendly to the republican features of our system that one of its most important securities consists in the separation of the legislative and executive powers at the same time that each is acknowledged to be supreme, in the will of the people constitutionally expressed.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    “Most parents aren’t even aware of how often they compare their children. . . . Comparisons carry the suggestion that specific conditions exist for parental love and acceptance. Thus, even when one child comes out on top in a comparison she is left feeling uneasy about the tenuousness of her position and the possibility of faring less well in the next comparison.”
    —Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
