Analog and custom design teams create many versions of schematics and layouts throughout the project life cycle as they optimize, verify, and refine their designs. Understanding exactly what changed between versions is critical, but it often depends on incomplete check-in comments, manual inspection, emails, or conversations between design and layout engineers.

This webinar showcases Keysight Visual Design Diff (VDD) and shows how it helps teams quickly and accurately compare schematic, layout, and hierarchical design changes. We will cover how VDD helps engineers review teammate updates, preview incoming changes before an update, validate intended changes before check-in, and confirm that ECOs contain only the expected modifications. We will also discuss how printable text and CSV reports can support design reviews, documentation, and audit traceability.

Who should attend:

• Analog and custom IC design engineers responsible for schematic development and optimization.
• Layout engineers implementing design changes and tracking progress against schematic intent.
• Design and layout teams working collaboratively across shared blocks and project milestones.
• CAD, methodology, and design infrastructure leads responsible for review discipline and reproducibility.
• Engineering managers focused on reducing late-stage mistakes, ECO risk, and manual review overhead.
• Current SOS users who want a clearer way to understand schematic, layout, and hierarchical changes.
