Solido Design Automation, a leading developer of process variation solutions for transistor-level design of analog/mixed-signal, custom digital and memory integrated circuits, has announced the industry's first truly scalable and extensible solution for meeting design challenges created by process variations at nanometer feature sizes.
The new Variation Designer solution enables designers to eliminate design losses resulting from over and under design without sacrificing efficiency and productivity.
Furthermore, as process complexity increases and new variation effects arise at smaller geometries, Variation Designer allows designers to expand their capabilities by plugging in applications that are created to solve specific variation problems, without the need for re-integration with the design environment.
Its use results in ‘right designs’ that meet or exceed specifications, with minimized power/area and maximized yields in a shorter time than is possible with a traditional design flow. Variation Designer enables designers to deliver highly competitive products in a timely manner, with reduced costs and faster ramp to production.
The Variation Designer solution provides an efficient way for chip designers to analyze, identify and fix the effects of process variations on their designs. It provides automatic capabilities to analyze and identify process variation -related failure mechanisms, but cedes control to designers to use the information in combination with their experience and knowledge to fix those problems in an interactive manner.
