Seamless Integration of Sign-off Verification Tools
External Verification Interface (EVI) provides an interface for users of Mentor Graphics’ Calibre® tool suite, to use L-Edit and S-Edit for layout and schematic capture. Used in conjunction with the Calibre RVE product, you can view Calibre DRC errors, LVS results, and PEX parasitics in L-Edit and S-Edit. EVI is also compatible with Calibre Interactive, which allows users to run DRC & LVS on L-Edit and S-Edit designs from within Calibre Interactive.

Protect Your Investment
Designers who have already invested in Calibre and Calibre RVE can now get more value from their Tanner flow with the seamless integration provided by EVI. You can quickly and efficiently review verification results and make necessary changes in your design in L-Edit and S-Edit. EVI connects your Unix/Linux based Calibre with your Windows based Tanner Tools.

Efficient Verification Platform
EVI performs cross-probing between L-Edit/S-Edit and verification results. You can view parasitic information directly in L-Edit such as parasitic capacitance. With our complete integration, you can quickly iterate through verification checks and intuitively browse hierarchical SPICE netlists for faster LVS.

Benefit From Flexible Licensing
When you purchase a new design tool, licensing options can greatly affect your total cost of ownership. EVI is available in networked configurations offering you the most flexible licensing possible. With a single solution, EVI will work whenever and wherever, meeting the design needs of your main workgroup and remote workers. If you offshore design projects, EVI does not have geographic restriction on its licenses, thus, lowering your total cost of ownership.
