Magma Titan Analog Migration Solution Ports Rambus Custom Designs

Magma® Design Automation announced the completion of a successful evaluation of Magma's Titan™ Analog Migration products. This joint effort led to the design, porting and tape out of complex, high-performance analog circuits for Rambus' leadership XDR™ memory and FlexIO™ processor bus architectures.

"Our business demands the efficient porting of custom circuits to meet the needs of our customers," said Martin Scott, senior vice president of Engineering at Rambus. "The Titan Analog Migration solution offers impressive productivity benefits and accelerates porting of designs across multiple leading-edge manufacturing processes."

"Analog migration presents a fundamental challenge, and Magma has developed the technology to effectively address this problem," said Suk Lee, general manager of Magma's Custom Design Business Unit. "The Titan Analog Migration solution provides Rambus with design exploration capabilities for their complex, high-performance mixed-signal designs."

Titan Analog Migration is an integral part of Magma's Titan mixed-signal design platform focused on solving the analog/mixed-signal design, porting, optimization and reuse challenges. The Titan solution offers an integrated simulation environment using the industry's leading circuit simulator, FineSim™, along with the gold standard tool for parasitic extraction, QuickCap® TLx. When coupled with ground-breaking schematic- driven layout, analog circuit optimization, and analog placement-and-routing, Titan provides a level of efficiency in the analog design domain that is similar to that of the digital domain. For true mixed-signal design, the FineSim interface also allows for full-chip circuit simulation, offering SPICE-level accuracy for the analog portions of the design and fast SPICE-level accuracy for the digital portions of the design.
