Hi ,

Both PVS and Assura LVS is from Cadence!.

But what is the difference between these tool?
 

Prashanth,

Cadence PVS (Physical Verification tool) is an advanced DRC/LVS engine for DRC and LVS check. PVS is specifically for technology nodes below 45nm.

Cadence Assura is an older LVS engine which can be used for technology nodes above 45nm.. i.e, 180nm, 130nm.etc.,

Summary : PVS for 45nm and smaller Geometry
Assura for technology nodes above 45nm .. Assura does not work for nodes below 45nm.
