Business Wire
Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced
support for the TSMC interoperable process design kit (iPDK) in the
Mentor๏ฟฝ Custom IC design flow products. This support gives
companies using TSMC process technology the freedom to choose
best-in-class tools such as the IC Station๏ฟฝ tool without the
encumbrance of proprietary PDK files, and results in shortened
design cycle times and more effective design reuse.
๏ฟฝThe TSMC unified iPDK is designed to eliminate the need for
multiple proprietary PDKs, and opens the door to greater
innovations in custom, analog, mixed-signal and RF design,๏ฟฝ said
S.T. Juang, senior director of Design Infrastructure Marketing at
TSMC. ๏ฟฝSupport from the EDA community has been outstanding, and we
feel the collaborative nature of the work will pay huge dividends
to our mutual customers.๏ฟฝ
The TSMC iPDK is based on an Open Access database and data
model, and features open standard languages for scripting and
programming. It includes complete views of symbols, parameterized
layout cells, callbacks and technology files. This approach ensures
rapid availability of PDKs for advanced technology nodes, and
allows TSMC customers more choices of design tools.
๏ฟฝThe iPDK initiative is a great example of the industry working
together in the best interest of its customers,๏ฟฝ said Robert Hum,
general manager of Mentor Graphics Deep Submicron Division. ๏ฟฝDesign
kits written in proprietary languages that keep the customer
captive to one vendor do not serve the industry well.
Interoperability gives a customer the choice and flexibility to buy
the EDA tools that best serve their business objectives.๏ฟฝ
