Layout Migrate is the physical layout
migration tool of the Virtuoso custom design platform. It
supports fast process and design rule migration of hard IP,
custom digital designs, mixed-signal blocks, memories, and
standard cell libraries.

When design objectives dictate manipulat-
ing precise analog quantities—voltages,
currents, charges, and continuous ratios
of parameter values such as resistance and
capacitance—companies turn to custom
design. Full-custom design maximizes
performance while minimizing area and
power. However, it requires significant
handcrafting by a select set of engineers
with very high skill levels. In addition,
custom analog circuits are more sensitive
to physical effects, which are exacerbated
at new, nanometer process nodes.
The Virtuoso custom design platform
accelerates the design of custom ICs
across various process nodes. By selec-
tively automating aspects of custom
analog design and providing advanced
technologies integrated on a common
database, it allows engineers to focus
on precision crafting their designs—
without sacrificing creativity to repetitive
manual tasks.
