L-Edit Pro V11 is the latest version of the analogue and mixed-signal design software for IC, MEMS and optical design from Tanner EDA.
"Our long experience with Tanner means that we can produce reliable kits in just two weeks".
Tanner's low cost, easy-to-use, schematic capture and IC layout tools for analogue and mixed signal design have been supported on X-Fab 1.0 to 0.35um processes for the last two years and dozens of designs have been processed by the fab.
The addition of the new fab will give chip designers greater choice in selecting the optimum process for each device, including high density Flash memory at 0.25um, an option for which there is growing demand.
X-Fab's manufacturing capacity is now around 700,000 200mm-equivalent wafers per year.
