Sasken Integrates Magma's Complete RTL-to-GDSII Solution into Its Design Methodology for World-Class Communications IC Design Services
Magma® Design Automation Inc. and world-class embedded telecom software solutions provider Sasken Communication Technologies Ltd. announced that Sasken has adopted Magma's complete RTL-to-GDSII solution as part of its IC design methodology. Deploying Magma's design tools has enabled Sasken's Semiconductor Business Unit to offer its customers reductions in time to silicon and development costs, while meeting power and area requirements.
Sasken has adopted Magma's Blast CreateT, Blast Fusion®, Blast Noise® and Blast RailT to offer world-class IC design services for the global telecom and communications market.
"Sasken differentiates itself by being the only company in India that works along the entire telecom value chain," said Shrikrishna Gokhale, vice president of Sasken's Semiconductor Business Unit. "We consider Magma a close collaborator that shares our philosophy of offering our customers the ability to significantly lower design time and costs, while meeting specified requirements and achieving the desired quality of results. By integrating Magma's RTL-to-GDSII tightly integrated design flow into our design methodology, we have been able to reduce time to silicon by two to four months, even for complex communication designs, and with far fewer engineers than before."
"We are pleased to be working closely with a world-class, telecom technology provider such as Sasken Communication Technologies to meet their growing IC customer design requirements," said Lung Chu, Magma's vice president of Asia-Pacific Operations. "Sasken's decision to integrate Magma's design flow into their IC design methodology demonstrates Magma's ability to help our customers achieve correct-by-construction design, while improving time to market, and reducing cost and manpower. Sasken, like Magma, understands the need to get it right the first time, while meeting customer delivery schedules, die size and performance demands. We are glad Sasken has fully embraced Magma's uniquely complete and integrated RTL-to-GDSII design flow."
