What does DEF stand for?

Chip2Nite is specifically designed to provide physical information for logic designers needs and works with standard formats, including Verilog and Design Exchange Format (DEF).

The SCANDEF file is a subset of the Cadence Design Exchange format (DEF), which is now an open standard available from OpenEDA -- an open source website launched by the Silicon Integration Initiative, Inc.

NYSE:CDN), today announced it is providing free 90-day licenses to the application programming interfaces (API's) for the Cadence Library Exchange Format (LEF) and Design Exchange Format (DEF).

Further underscoring its commitment to interoperability, the Company also introduced the Cadence Connections(R) open licensing program providing full and equal access to APIs for its LEF and Design Exchange Format (DEF) -- Cadence's most popular formats used in virtually all integrated circuit design flows.

Employing the Design Exchange Format and Physical Design Exchange Format standard interfaces, PathBlazer passes datapath placement forward for incorporation into the full-chip floorplan and final layout.

On the design standards front, we're committed to standards in many areas, as evidenced by the contribution of our Physical Design Exchange Format (PDEF) to Open Verilog International (OVI) to incorporate as a key element of its delay calculation proposal," Woodson added.
