Magma release new version of its Titan analog/mixed signal tool

Magma Design Automation has released its new version of Titan Analog/Mixed-Signal (Titan AMS) Design Platform. With patent-pending analog design technology Magma says Titan provides an innovative FlexCell-to-GDSII analog/mixed-signal (AMS) flow that organically integrates both electrical design and physical design into one unified design methodology. This paradigm-shifting, electrical-physical co-design flow ranges from front-end design such as schematics to circuit optimization in Titan Analog Design Accelerator (Titan ADX) to back-end design such as placement and routing in Titan Analog Virtual Prototyper (Titan AVP) and Titan Shape-Based Router (Titan SBR), explains Magma.

"As evidenced by initial successes by Panasonic, iWatt and Exar as well as recent achievements by Fujitsu and other users, Titan is experiencing very rapid adoption for a wide variety of analog designs being manufactured in process nodes ranging from 180 to 28 nanometer and below," said Anirudh Devgan, general manager of Magma's Custom Design Business Unit. "More than half of the top 20 semiconductor companies in the world are Titan customers and several more are actively evaluating this technology. This growth is a direct result of Titan's advanced analog circuit design capabilities, such as non-linear constraint-based circuit optimization and high capacity and high quality analog routing that allow Titan to offer significant quality and turnaround-time advantages over traditional analog design and implementation tools. Backed by Magma's talented engineering, R&D and worldwide FAE teams, new customers can be confident in adopting this innovative solution."

The Titan AMS Design Platform version 2011.11 is available now.
