Scholar

An Advanced Hierarchical Schematic Capture

Introduction

The debut of Silvaco’s new schematic editor, Scholar, is drawing closer. Scholar is a sophisticated design tool which derives its power and flexibility from the fact that it is built on top of the general purpose circuit database. Scholar has both a fully functional command language, and an easy to use graphical front end. As it has been developed in-house, it will provide unprecedented interoperability with Silvaco’s flagship SPICE simulator, SmartSpice. The planned addition of an EDIF interface will provide complete compatibility with existing circuit libraries.
