Why Integrated Data Management is Essential for Analog Design
Without effective data management, design errors and inefficiencies caused by poor visibility, lack of collaboration, and out-of-date design environments can lead to costly re-spins and delayed time to market. Yet analog design is complicated enough without requiring designers to learn new data management systems.
VersIC solves this dilemma by making analog data management capabilities available within native analog environments, including Cadence Virtuoso and Synopsys Custom Compiler. VersIC seamlessly connects these analog design tools to underlying data management solutions such as Helix Core.
You get all the benefits of modern data management and version control, without requiring designers to learn a new tool.
Improve Analog Design Quality, Consistency, and Efficiency with VersIC
VersIC supports successful, on-time tapeouts by making it easy and seamless for analog designers to gain the benefits of modern data management and version control.
Reduce Errors and Eliminate Versioning Issues
With VersIC, designers no longer need to manually track changes. VersIC improves visibility and eliminates versioning issues with:
- Version control for all design elements, such as schematics and layouts, through check-in and check-out of design data.
- Ability to easily identify and communicate changes via visual Diff and Merge features.
- Full support for hierarchical operations.
Speed Time to Market Through Reuse
Without visibility into existing analog design blocks, teams waste time ‘reinventing the wheel’ instead of reusing blocks between projects.
With VersIC, you get a centralized, automated catalog of available analog libraries. Design blocks and variants are shared across teams. This enables effective reuse, so you can reduce design cycle times and deliver better quality products faster.
Boost Productivity and Improve Collaboration
Ad-hoc configuration and workspace management can result in out-of-date design environments that introduce errors and bring productivity to a crawl.
VersIC offers simple, consistent configuration and workspace management so you can:
- Reduce errors, improve quality, and save time by eliminating manual configuration processes.
- Improve collaboration across teams and easily ‘bootstrap’ new and derivative projects through standardized project configurations.
- Increase productivity with high-performance, multi-site data distribution and workspace creation.
“VersIC gives us the high performance configuration management tools we need to facilitate PDK development, project design data management, and IP variant sharing across design teams. We now have the high performance backbone we need to enable true collaboration in our hardware design environment.”

“The combination of VersIC, Helix IPLM, and Helix Core helped us achieve a successful, on-time tape-out for one of the most complex designs we’ve ever done. It has significantly reduced our design cycle times, improved our time-to-market, and given us a great
competitive advantage.”
