Recent collaboration between UMC and Synopsys has resulted in a complete RTL-to-GDSII reference design flow, which now includes critical design for manufacturing features for UMC抯 90nm process. Suzanna Chang, Senior Director of Marketing for UMC, and Paul Lai, Group Manager of Strategic Alliances, Synopsys, explain how the use of this flow can help designers reduce design risk and speed time to results. UMC\’s Design for Manufacturing (DFM) efforts supplement the basic design work that is performed to support customers. This helps increase the chances of first time silicon success, which is critical in reducing time to market and overall costs at technologies of 90nm and below. Improved DFM solutions help customers realize enhanced yields, faster turnaround times, and reduced risk...

Formality® is an equivalence-checking (EC) solution that uses formal, static techniques to determine if two versions of a design are functionally equivalent. The size and complexity of today’s designs, coupled with the challenges of meeting timing, area, power and schedule, requires that the newest, most advanced synthesis optimizations be fully verifiable. Formality supports all of the out-ofthe- box DC Ultra optimizations and so provides the highest quality of results that are fully verifiable. Formality supports verification of power-up and power-down states, multi-voltage, multi-supply and clock gated designs. Formality’s easy-to-use, flow-based graphical user interface and auto-setup mode helps even new users successfully complete verification in the shortest possible time.product:Synopsys Formality 2008.09 SP4 Linux Lanaguage:english Platform:Winxp/Win7 Size:55MB
::::::English Description:::::: The Formality® Equivalence Checker uses formal techniques to prove or disprove equivalence between two versions of the same design. Equivalence checking is a type of static analysis that verifies large designs both quickly and completely without the use of test vectors. The high performance and reduced risk of static analysis has led to the rapid adoption of equivalence checking within leading verification flows, making it a must for all competitive design processes. Key Benefits共享软件资源网 Exhaustive verification, without test vectors, in a fraction of the time consumed by traditional dynamic techniques Proves functional correctness of register retiming, complex datapath, ECO, and low power implementations–from within a single product Reduces manual setup with verified automated setup guidance Verifies full-custom and...

This morning Synopsys publicly announced the long-rumored–and demonstrated in the private rooms at DAC–Orion project: a custom and cell-based analog-mixed-signal (AMS) design environment aimed at breaking the dominance of Cadence\’s Virtuoso platform. By targeting what they see as changes in the requirements placed on AMS designers since the architecting of Virtuoso–while replicating much of the look and feel of that market-leading platform–Synopsys apparently hopes to position Orion, now formally known as Custom Designer, as the next-generation mainstream AMS design environment. And these requirements changes have been profound. The most mundane, but the most disabling change in the AMS landscape has been simply the enormous growth in the size of designs. This has made capacity, and especially simulation capacity, a critical...
::::::English Description:::::: Plant Simulation enables the simulation and optimization of production systems and processes. Using Plant Simulation, you can optimize material flow, resource utilization and logistics for all levels of plant planning from global production facilities, through local plants, to specific lines. In times of increasing cost and time pressures in production, along with ongoing globalization, logistics has become a key factor in the success of a company. The need to deliver JIT (just-in-time)/ JIS (just-in-sequence), introduce Kanban, plan and build new production lines and manage global production networks (to name a few) require objective decision criteria to help management evaluate and compare alternative approaches. Plant Simulation helps create digital models of logistic systems (e.g., production) to explore the systems’...
