Schematic Editor SLED

Description

SLED is a schematic editor allowing designers to perform graphic entry and configuration of their designs in a shorter time. The flexibility of the schematic editor SLED enables the design of true mixed-signal circuits as well as multi-level and multiphysics systems.

SLED naturally becomes the central element of any logic, analog and mixed-signal schematic driven design flow!

Key Strengths


Flexible and intuitive user interface
Customizable & user friendly GUI
Functions accessible by pop-up menus, keyboard shortcuts or scripts Windows-like style for a better user acquaintance
TCL-based Scripting API for automating repetitive tasks
Support of the most common modeling languages: SPICE, Verilog, Verilog-A(MS), VHDL, VHDL-AMS
Libraries of user-parameterizable models
Quick localization of design problems with user configurable Design Rule Checker
Multi language mixed-signal customizable netlisting with Design Context configurations

Interoperability


Dynamic link with the mixed-signal simulator SMASH
Display of waveform results in SLED and automatic update of simulation results following parameter modifications in the schematic
Back-annotation and cross-probing
Interoperability
EDIF Import/Export
Capability to import designs from ECS entry solutions legacy (including Synario, Cohesion HDS & Laker-AMS)

Description
Presentation Sheet
SLED 3.6
SLED improves the user experience by allowing to:​ show/hide instance pin of instance elements in a schematic to simplify the schematic and improve its readability when a pin is optional​ set the color of instance elements in a schematic by TCL script to change the graphical representation of an instance depending on its parameter values​ define tags in parameter definition to bring order when a cell contains tens of parameter ​ filter the parameter by tag in the property editor to highlight certain parameters according to their meaning/usage

SLED 3.5
SLED 3.5.0 enables greater configurability thanks to the new possibility for the users of being able to define TCL functions related to a cell called on hooks.
Download
SLED 3.4
SLED 3.4 provides the new feature of lock/unlock a library. SLED 3.4 enhances the cell display organization in libraries by providing the availability to use hierarchical tags.

SLED 3.2 - Engage migration of sled parameters
For preparing the migration towards a future release of SLED which will allow multi-level schematics, SLED 3.2 will detect the incoming incompatibilities like parameter definitions inside a project, a library, a symbol or a schematic. In future releases of SLED, parameter definitions will only be allowed in the cells. Parameter definitions detected in projects, libraries, schematics or symbols will then be automatically migrated into cells.

SLED 3.1 - Export schematics to cadence
To improve the interoperability of the Dolphin Solutions, SLED 3.1 provides a command to convert a SLED design (Libraries, Cells, Schematics, Symbols) into a CADENCE Virtuoso design.

SLED 3.0 - 64-bit native application
Starting from now, all our EDA solutions will only be available in 64-bit versions for x86_64 platforms with Microsoft Windows Vista/7/8/10 or with RedHat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL6) and compatible Linux distributions. Native 64-bit applications allow to overcome the limitations of 32-bit versions, such as loading large designs and simplifying installations on a 64-bit Linux OS.
