This page is intended to list and define the terms used in cadence.
C
- CDF
- Component Description Format - A feature that lets you assign attributes, properties, and parameters to libraries and cells for such purposes as assigning parameter names and values, allocating units and default values, checking that values lie within specified ranges, dynamically changing how parameters are displayed depending on predefined conditions, and executing Cadence® SKILL programming language functions whenever certain information is changed (callback functions).
- CIW
- Command Interpreter Window - The window that launches any Virtuoso® Design Environment application. The CIW logs your design session and reports messages.
O
- OSS
- Open Simulation System - It is the framework on which most ADE and Virtuoso Schematic Editor (VSE) netlisters are built. Prominent OSS-based netlisters are the Spectre, UltraSim, SpectreVerilog, UltraSimVerilog, Verilog, auCDL and auLVS netlisters.
