Enhancements

ATE-3060

Mosfet recognition has been expanded to allow more geometrically complex mosfets.

ATE-3050

Improved standard cell recognition when power rails contain extra must-join geometry.

ATE-2994

Improved standard cell recognition for devices without an appropriate P&R boundary defined.

ATE-3036

Added a general differential chain soft pattern, to handle critical devices SD connected to differential pairs that are not handled by an existing soft pattern.

ATE-3027

Animate now builds routing patterns out of a cells with a common design and provides a pattern routing solution for these groups.

ATE-3005

Within the Animate project file, under constraint defaults, there is an option for setting a capacitor tolerance value. If no value is set, the default is a tolerance of 3%.
If the user-selected tolerance is less than 0.5% then this tolerance is rounded down to 0%.

 

Resolved Issues

ATE-3061

Fixed an issue that could cause Animate to fail to recognise a simple current mirror.

ATE-3057Animate automatic run will now correctly use the flat instance count, rather than the count at the top level.
ATE-3054Fixed an issue where it was possible for a specific Group to cause Animate Preview to fail to generate a layout.
ATE-3049

Duplicate precondition fails no longer reported.

ATE-3053

When loaded, enlarge preview will now update in the background rather than jumping to the front on each selection change in Virtuoso.

ATE-3043Fixed a case where moving diodes into a match would break constraints, causing the match to fail to be placed.
ATE-3042

Fixed a case where null reinforcement for routing patterns would incorrectly block gridded router in some cases.
