austriamicrosystems Supports Entire Chip Design Flow For Foundry Customers On Customers On Linux Operating System

austriamicrosystems Business Unit Full Service Foundry announced the availability of its new analog/mixed signal high performance design kit ("HIT-Kit") for its 0.35µm and 0.8µm technologies also on Red Hat Linux 7.3 operating system.

The new design environment based on Cadence EDA tools improves the time-to-market and the time-to-profit for highly competitive products especially in the analog intensive mixed signal area. Supporting designers in creating their first-time-right mixed signal designs even for complex systems, this comprehensive HIT-Kit with its highly accurate simulation models and flexible device provides a proven route to silicon.

The new release HIT-Kit v3.60 is available now for Cadence Design Systems' latest version of Analog Design Environment and includes the high performance 0.35µm process technologies C35 (CMOS) and S35 (SiGe-BiCMOS) and the 0.8µm process technologies CXQ (CMOS), CXZ (CMOS-HV) and BYQ (BiCMOS). It comes complete with fully silicon qualified standard cells, periphery cells, general purpose analog cells, custom analog and RF devices, verification rule sets for Assura, Diva and Calibre as well as excellent fully characterized circuit simulation models enabling rapid design starts of complex high-performance mixed-signal ICs.

To meet our customers demands also in terms of flexibility, the HIT-Kit supports, beside Linux, also Sun Solaris and HP-UX operating systems. In addition to the standard HIT-Kits, austriamicrosystems offers digital and analog IP blocks, such as microprocessor cores, memories (RAM/ROM), data converters, and much more.
