Magma Enhances SiliconSmart With New Functional Recognition Capabilities, Speeding Modeling of Complex Standard Cells and I/Os
Magma® Design Automation Inc. announced the availability of new functional recognition capabilities in the SiliconSmart® Library Characterization and Modeling product line. Leveraging advanced algorithms, SiliconSmart automatically recognizes and models the functionality of complex circuits and generates an efficient vector set for all timing arcs. By eliminating time-consuming, manual analyses, SiliconSmart dramatically reduces the time required to set up and characterize complex components across a wide range of process points, supply voltages and junction temperatures.
"Today's physical design flows provide tremendous flexibility, enabling designers to more easily incorporate customized IP blocks into their designs," said Suk Lee, general manager of Magma's Custom Design Business Unit. "While this allows significant improvements in design optimization, it creates more work for library teams. With its ability to automatically recognize the functionality and quickly generate complete and accurate electrical models of complex circuits and IP components, SiliconSmart enables the library team to meet the demands of the implementation team."
SiliconSmart: Faster, More Accurate Characterization and Modeling
Featuring accuracy, throughput and ease of use, SiliconSmart provides standard cell and I/O characterization and modeling for all popular design flows and supports advanced timing and power modeling. It is a complete library characterization and publishing system that produces production-ready models with minimal setup effort.
