Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today reinforced its
support for the work of the Open PDK (Process Design Kit) Coalition
with the announcement that Linda Fosler, director of marketing for
the Deep Submicron Division, will serve as Open PDK Coalition
Vice-Chair.
The goal of the Open PDK Coalition is to define a set of open
standards to allow a PDK to be as portable across foundries and as
agnostic to EDA tools as possible. The Si2 Open PDK will enable
greater efficiency in PDK development, verification and delivery,
and will provide equivalent support to all foundries, all EDA tool
vendors, all IP providers, and all end users. The Coalition will
define new standard specifications at the PDK development
environment level, as well as standards for delivery of a populated
PDK file set.
Prior to Si2's focus on interoperable PDKs, Mentor developed its
own Design Kit Initiative. The key objective of the Mentor
initiative is to support all formats needed by foundries and their
customers: Mentor TDK, Cadence PDK, iPDK and the Open PDK, as well
as support future formats. In addition, the Mentor Design Kit
initiative supports the OA (Open Access) database.
"The industry has too long been captive to inefficiencies and
lack of portability due to proprietary design kit formats," said
Robert Hum, vice president and general manager, Mentor Graphics
Deep Submicron Division. "Open PDKs work, and the creation of an
implementation-free standard will dramatically improve the ability
of customers to choose EDA tools and foundries that best meet their
business objectives. Mentor is very pleased to be a founding member
of the Si2 Open PDK effort."
