austriamicrosystems implements Nangate's library creator in its digital cell library IP

austriamicrosystems has implemented the Nangate Library Creator Platform to improve its digital cell library intellectual property (IP) development. Library Creator demo will be given in booth 1362 at DAC in Anaheim on June 14-16.

Nangate's tool suite constitutes of EDA solutions that can increase the efficiency of digital blocks in complex Mixed-Signal CMOS ICs to levels that were previously only achievable with extensive manual efforts and very large design teams, thus providing lower IC power consumption, reduced manufacturing costs and shorter time-to-market.

"Nangate's Library Creator tool suite has enabled our library development team to develop higher density and performance standard cell libraries than we could obtain externally," said Thomas Riener, Vice President and General Manager BU Full Service Foundry, at austriamicrosystems. "The tool suite continues to help austriamicrosystems increase the efficiency and significantly reduce the cost of developing digital cell libraries for our specialty analog/mixed-signal process technologies."

"austriamicrosystems has long had a reputation for producing products and systems with the lowest power consumption and highest accuracy," said Ole Christian Andersen, President and CEO at Nangate. "We are pleased that austriamicrosystems has selected Nangate's Library Creator tool suite as their platform of choice to increase IP development productivity and to enable development of the highest performing cell library IP for their own silicon developments and foundry customers."
