Notes

• Cadence is not a monolithic tool, but rather a set of design entry, simulation, extraction, layout, and verification tools that operate on a common database format (CDB) library. Cadence maintained its own propietary format for this database through version IC5.1.4 of the tools. Newer versions of the design entry tools (IC6.x) utilize an open database format called Open Access.
