TSMC incorporates Magma's Titan AM into its analog design environment

IC Fab company TSMC has selected Magma's Titan AM to shorten analog design porting time from weeks to days. TSMC uses Titan AM to port its analog IP building blocks to new process nodes.

Titan AM uses a model-based approach enabling analog developers to enhance performance and process, solve voltage and temperature (PVT) corner cases, and to reduce power and area.

"The demand for analog design is increasing across a variety of process nodes," said ST Juang, senior director of the Design Infrastructure Marketing Division at TSMC. "With Titan AM, our designers shortened porting time, explored specification boundaries, and optimized analog circuits for reduced power and smaller area. In addition, Magma's Titan AM provided an efficient and predictable analog reuse methodology."
