Toshiba opts for simulation analysis solution
Toshiba Corp has adopted the FineSim hybrid simulation analysis solution into its design flow.
The move follows almost two years of continuing collaboration between the two companies; KPIT Cummins has worked with Dialog Semiconductor's design teams in the UK, Japan, Austria and at its German headquarters.
KPIT Cummins' roadmap of projects with Dialog during this time demonstrates its growth from a single layout resource effort to a partner capable of handling entire digital and analogue design blocks with minimal support from Dialog.
In May 2007, Dialog Semiconductor launched a new range of display drivers and evaluation kits to support electronic paper segmented displays aimed at mobile phones, capacity meters on memory cards, electronic shelf labels, watches, clocks and other consumer devices that could make use of paper-thin electronic displays.
