cadence config view

hi there,
what is config view in cadence virtuoso environment and the difference between schematic view, thanks!
regards,
henry
 

config view

a config view is used to select different views (like schematic, verilog-a, verilog, extracted, ...) of a cell in a schematic and enables you to run simulations for that particular configuration.
It is very useful in the early phase of a design: you start with ideal blocks and as you create the schematics for the sub-blocks you can see the effect of the real blocks compared to the ideal ones.
In the later phase of a design you can substitute the schematics with the extracted views and again see the effect.

config view

its good for doing postlayout simulation to compare result of schematic and extracted view. you can add two instances of the same symbol, one corresponding to schematic view and one to extracted view.

Re: config view

so it is just a configuration of different views, but not a real view, right? correct me if i am wrong, thanks!

to the best of my knowledge, yes. refer to the documentation on cadence hierarchy editor for more information.
