RF design software offers consistent inductors
Celestry Design Technologies has a new family of products for designing and producing low-cost single-chip RF CMOS devices.
TSMC qualification for sign-off tools
Celestry Design Technologies has achieved qualification of three of its design tools for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) 0.13-micron process.
CellXpert-CN eliminates cell noise library characterisation iterations by using an algorithm that reduces the effort to a single pass.
It also reduces the amount of false errors during signal integrity analysis and speeds design debug to increase productivity.
"After a detailed evaluation of Nautilus-SI and CellXpert-CN's cell library noise characterisation, we found the methodology fits well with our SoC-ImP technology, and gives us the best solution for our cell-based signal integrity analysis sign-off", remarked David Lyou, Socle's General Manager.
Zhihong Liu, President and CEO of Celestry noted, "As part of our Silicon-Accurate Sign-off efforts, CellXpert-CN is the first product in our noise characterisation family.
Later this year, we will introduce more noise characterisation products for intellectual property, memory and analog mixed-signal designs".
For SoC design, Nautilus-SI offers full-chip signal integrity verification software for deep submicron multi-million cell designs.
It incorporates 3D parasitic extraction technology to accurately determine coupling capacitance.
With its delay analysis engine, it captures coupling effects on timing and identifies signal integrity problems due to coupling noise.
Celestry's CellXpert-CN with Nautilus-SI is available now.
Nautilus-SI with CellXpert-CN starts at $115,000 for a time-based license (TBL).
The software runs on Sun Solaris.
