Using The Mentor Graphics EDA Tools

This document discusses using various Mentor Graphics EDA tools for different courses and applications. It describes tools like Design Architect for creating logic diagrams, Quicksim and ModelSim for simulation and validation, and Design Manager for managing complex EDA tool databases. Courses covered include digital logic design, computer organization, advanced digital design, VLSI design, and fabrication. The tools can be used to design and validate schematics, run simulations by inputting binary values, and compare outputs to expected results.

 Logic Diagrams or Schematics
 Schematic
Components/modules and
interconnecting wires
 Bundles of wires called BUSES
 Component Library
Quicksim
 Correctness of Schematic
Verification/Validation
 Simulation for Validation—Mentor
Graphics Tool is Quicksim
 The signal which are to be I/p or O/p
can be selected on a copy of the
schematic available in a window
within Quicksim.
 Enter sequence of Binary values
 Run the Simulator
 Cmp the I/Ps and resulting O/Ps
observed with the expected I/Ps and
O/Ps.
 If they agree, then ckt is validate or
else correct the logic
schematic/design.
Design Manager
 It is helpful for cleaning things up and
if you get into problems related to
your Mentor Graphic files.
 Complex EDA Tools are supported by
specific Databases
 Mentor Graphics employs a database
referred to as the “Falcon
Framework”, it is based on OOPS
concept.
 Some Op’s like move ,del, copy obj’s
can’t be performed by using simple
cmd line/GUI operations on files.
 Instead it is necessary to use a tool
that is specifically designed like
Mentor Graphics tool (Dmgr).
