Wipro-NewLogic and IN2FAB launch analog IC design porting services

Wipro NewLogic and IN2FAB Technology today announced the launch of a new facility to provide design porting services for analog mixed signal and custom IC designs between foundry processes and geometries. The co-operation enables IC designs and IP to be ported to a manufacturing standard in short duration of few weeks with significant reductions in cycle time and engineering costs of 10 times.
This service known as "Port-on-Demand" will reside within Wipro NewLogic's Product Engineering Services division based in Bangalore, India and Lustenau, Austria.

Wipro NewLogic has created world-class semiconductor design and engineering operations in India and Europe offering a full capability for IC design services with competitive cost and time to market benefits. Over several years IN2FAB has established a strong track record of porting silicon successfully with its migration tools and methodologies covering all CMOS geometries including most recently the 45nm node. IN2FAB will provide its migration tools, methodologies and infrastructure to the "Port-on-Demand" facility.
By combining these two strengths, this co-operation will provide a powerful and compelling business proposition to overcome some critical bottlenecks for the industry. Although analog content within system-on-chip is growing, companies are unable to scale up proportionately in terms of skilled resources. Also, the current industry standard cycle times for analog redesign are long and costly. The
"Port-on-Demand" service will help solve these challenges.
