Yes, you heard that right! You can now auto-generate a package schematic from a package layout with a snap of a finger! With Virtuoso RF Solution, there are all kinds of automations that allow you to have a connectivity-driven design. You can verify the connectivity by the top-level analog simulation and functional verification to make sure your netlist and results are within your expectation. In addition, verify your layout connectivity against the netlist at any point in your design cycle to make sure that the design that you are taping out is in good shape. Although our recommendation is for you to always start from scratch to build your schematic and then propagate the connectivity to your layout, we understand that there are times when your layout has already started and you would like to import and use the connectivity information as your reference to build your golden schematic.
In this blog, I’m going to show you how you can automatically create a schematic from your SiP layout to use it as your reference starting point. Also, the assumption is that you have already read through the Virtuoso Meets Maxwell: Getting Your Existing SiP File Into Virtuoso RF Solution blog and you understand how the package technology library is created in the Virtuoso environment from a SiP file.
