Fujitsu Semiconductor adopted NanGate's Library Creator in its 28nm design

NanGate, has announced that Fujitsu Semiconductor Limited has adopted NanGate's Library Creator, that enables efficient creation and validation of digital cells, and NanGate Design Optimizer, an IC analysis and post-route optimization tool, into its advanced 28nm design environment.

"Fujitsu Semiconductor's business growth depends on our continuous improvement in design development quality and efficiency. We are impressed with the effectiveness of NanGate's solution to automate generation of large sets of complex cells, and the ability to improve the quality of design performance," said Hiroshi Ikeda, Director of System LSI Technology & Product Department, Technology Development Division, IP & Technology Development and Manufacturing Unit of Fujitsu Semiconductor Limited. "We expect to leverage these strengths for our critical design development with various advanced process technologies."

Qualified for 28 nm technology and below, NanGate's Library Creator tool set was designed to handle complexity of advanced process technology while delivering an automated and integrated solution for custom cell development, explains Nangate. Combined with the Design Optimizer, which has the ability to utilize large extended cell set in its unique optimization technology, NanGate solution fits into existing EDA flow delivers improved results, as per Nangate.

"Being selected by Fujitsu Semiconductor to enable their critical designs in advanced process technologies underscores the significance of NanGate solutions," said Kevin Bushby, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at NanGate. "We are committed to continue our collaboration with Fujitsu Semiconductor and help them delivering superior results more efficiently and effectively".
