SpringSoft Hosts Custom IC Design Automation Showcase at 46th DAC – Booth #3367

SpringSoft, Inc., a global supplier of specialized IC design software, is hosting the Custom IC Design Automation Showcase in booth #3367 at the Design Automation Conference (DAC) in San Francisco, Calif., July 27 through July 30, 2009. The showcase will feature SpringSoft’s Laker™ Custom Layout Automation System as the core of an interoperable set of best-in-class tools that each offer specialized automation for custom IC design.

The showcase will run through the entire conference with live product demonstrations by SpringSoft and its Laker community partners. Visitors to the showcase can see first-hand how third-party IC design tools, each a leader in its own right, become even more powerful when used with the Laker system. Areas of custom IC design that will be highlighted are data management, placement, routing, physical verification, and quality of results.

Participating companies include: Anchor Semiconductor, Apache, Ciranova, ClioSoft, Dassault Systemes, Mentor Graphics, Micrologic, Polyteda, Pulsic, Pyxis, and Synopsys. These companies will demonstrate the following Laker interoperable solutions:

  • Physical verification tools from Mentor Graphics, Polyteda, and Synopsys to achieve DRC and LVS clean layout while running, reviewing, and correcting data in-situ for optimal layout in the least amount of time
  • High performance custom routing from Pyxis for real-time, interactive routing for large designs using the industry’s only OA run-time model integration
  • Advanced routing tools from Pulsic to provide a custom design automation flow for memory, microprocessor, FPGA, LCD, LED, and custom digital, AMS designs
  • Ciranova analog and Laker custom digital placers running within the Laker environment to dramatically increase mixed-signal design productivity
  • Data Management tools from ClioSoft and Dassault Systemes that assure revision control and enable global collaboration
  • Impressive quality of results using tools from Anchor Semiconductor, Apache, and Micrologic that offer power, yield and electrical awareness and provide immediate feedback during the layout process

“The interoperable solutions our community of partners provide with the Laker layout system can help our customers achieve significant time savings,” said Duncan McDonald, product marketing director, Laker Physical Design. “Attendees can see this first hand at our DAC showcase.”
