Acquires Sabio Labs, Enhances Titan Mixed-Signal Design Platform
Magma® Design Automation Inc. announced it has acquired Sabio Labs, a provider of analog IP process migration technology. Sabio Labs technology will be incorporated into the Titan™ Mixed-Signal Design Platform to provide a comprehensive solution for analog IP process migration and mixed-signal design.
Sabio’s design approach enables designers to translate their expertise into re-usable designs that simulate correctly over all corners. This results in high-performance re-usable, portable designs created in a repeatable manner, eliminating the need to run thousands of simulations.
“The acquisition of Sabio Labs is another example of Magma’s ongoing strategy of acquiring leading-edge technology at an early point in the product lifecycle,” said Suk Lee, general manager of Magma’s Custom Design Business Unit. “This enables further enhancement and integration within Magma’s overall technology framework.”
“Sabio Labs shares Magma’s vision of revolutionizing IC design,” said Mar Hershenson, CEO of Sabio. “We’re pleased to join Magma, which has already revolutionized digital design, as it takes on the mixed-signal design space.”
"We are using Sabio to migrate our analog IP to 45 nm," said Shiro Dosho, manager of the Circuit Design Team at the Strategic Semiconductor Development Center at Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd. "Sabio's technology allowed us to cut the power consumption of our designs by 50 percent without sacrificing any other performance metric. Sabio's technology significantly reduces analog IP process migration time and it has become a key part of our analog design environment."
About Sabio
Sabio provides analog design solutions for mixed-signal designers based on analog optimization techniques. With Sabio, designers can create analog designs, port complex circuits to new process technologies across foundries efficiently, and explore system design trade-offs very early in the design process. Sabio is working with several top semiconductor companies who understand that the traditional analog design flow cannot be used efficiently in the design of complex mixed-signal circuits.
