An all-new IC implementation product line that offers unequalled automation and virtually unlimited capacity while delivering improved timing, area, power, signal integrity and manufacturability.
"The Magma system's ability to concurrently address timing, power, area, signal integrity and yield, allows us to identify and correct problems early in the flow, accurately predict design results and shorten design cycles".
"eInfochips has an impressive track record, having completed over 80 chip design and verification projects for large semiconductor and fabless chip companies", said Atreya Nagaraja, Director of India and ASEAN sales of Magma Design Automation.
"With the right combination of technical capabilities and market expertise, we are pleased to add them to the list of design centres that can support our growing customer base in India".
Blast Create, Blast Fusion, Blast Noise, Blast Power and Blast Rail are key components of Magma's integrated RTL-to-GDSII design flow.
Blast Create is a predictable RTL-to-placed-gates solution that enables designers to determine whether their design will meet timing prior to handing it off to layout.
Blast Fusion is a fast physical design system for advanced methodologies and nanometre process technologies.
It provides advanced analysis and optimisation capabilities for designing high-performance, low-power designs.
Blast Fusion enables rapid design closure, taking into account new nanometre design challenges such as on-chip variation.
Blast Noise is Magma's complete integrated signal integrity analysis and prevention solution.
Blast Noise works concurrently with Blast Fusion throughout the implementation flow to automatically analyse and adjust a chip design to avoid crosstalk noise, crosstalk delay and signal electromigration (EM) problems.
By automatically addressing these problems during physical design, Blast Noise eliminates the need for cumbersome post-layout analysis and repair, and ensures working silicon.
Blast Rail and Blast Power provide power analysis, management and optimisation capabilities, enabling continuous power, timing and area tradeoffs throughout the design flow.
