Magma's FineSim SPICE Circuit Simulator Qualifies Designs Targeting for TSMC's 40- and 65-Nanometer Process Technologies
Magma® Design Automation Inc. announced that TSMC qualified the accuracy and performance of Magma's FineSim™ SPICE for designs targeting TSMC's 65- and 40-nanometer (nm) processes.
Magma is one of the first electronic design automation companies to participate in the TSMC SPICE Tool Qualification Program. FineSim SPICE supports the program's interoperable SPICE Design Kit (iSDK) and Magma has adopted the TSMC Model Interface (TMI). Through early tool qualification and support of this program, Magma provides greater accuracy and higher performance SPICE simulation.
"Magma's new technology correlates with our 65- and 40-nm processes," said S. T. Juang, senior director of Design Infrastructure Marketing, TSMC. "FineSim SPICE met our requirements for accuracy and performance."
"By completing TSMC's rigorous qualification process, Magma ensures that designers will be able to leverage FineSim SPICE and its unique Native Parallel Technology™ to shorten simulation run time," said Suk Lee, general manager of Magma's Custom Design Business Unit. "Now designers can have increased confidence in their ability to verify their most challenging analog designs."
TSMC has prepared a qualification report on FineSim SPICE.
